Solar Shed

10 years ago you would not have seen this, however out here where its like 80% sunshine you do not have to be a rocket scientist to realise that solar energy is the way to go now that its available and compared to initial uptake prices…dirt cheap.

The Endless Road

I had to really beat this one over the head to get it to stitch properly, its 5 shots with quite a lot of overlap, but no matter i did the road lines would just not line up in the stitch, so I had to resort to some clone sorcery to bring them back together 🙂

Cropped Sky

so clouds.. you guys hang around here much?

A different take on a new favourite tree of mine, it did start off as quite a large vertical panorama, however crop at the very bottom of the frame just did not quite sit well with me. Hence rather than a horizon at the middle it ended up as a classic 1/3rd composition…

ya gotta view it large too 🙂

a whole bunch of vertical frames stitched together…

this is how my brain feels nowadays 🙂

I love a good lone tree buried in a agricultural crop of some kind… but I am thinking the average factory farm operator not so much 🙂 I think having a lone tree in the middle of their paddock does not really serve much purpose other than to cause pain when sowing and harvesting.

If I ever meet a farmer I will happily point out that having that lone tree may be a pain in the ass, but jeez they make cool photographic subjects 😉 think of the artistic merit 🙂

I wold love to come back top this spot for sunrise or sunset, rather than midday, but one must make do with what one is presented with 🙂

Ironically, I did the shopping the other day and needed to get some beans but was bitterly disappointed at my large supermarket monopoly store when they had none left, I could have just picked a few from this field 😉

So, if you ever wanted to know what mass produced beans look like? well wonder no more, ’cause here they are, rows and rows and rows of beans which seemed to stretch endlessly into the hills.

This shot is from 5 vertical frame shots stitched together, luckily for me a cloud had just come over the field and blanketed the beanscape with some less harsh sun that was beaming down on me minutes before..
