Field Of Gold
On a recent drive to Florida I took a wrong turn and ended up right on top of this wonderful field of wheat begging to be photographed. Unfortunately there were no crop circles present but the vine covered tree in the background caught my eye and left me with a nice tool to offset the ocean of wheat in the photos. I was tempted to go stand out in the field for a few shots but who knows how far off the farmer would be and I didn’t want to go stomping down someones hard work.
This is another instance of my backwards approach to shooting a landscape using f/1.4 in broad daylight, consciously running the risk of blowing out my highlights but leaving me with that characteristic vignetting and contrast. I did end up abusing the color temperature to pull out that warm golden color as well. Couldn’t really help myself!

Both are gorgeous. I happen to like the second a bit more.
Do you remember where in Florida you found this field? If it’s near the Orlando area, I’ll take a trip there. :)
Love these! Something wonderful about a field of wheat ~ beautifully captured. :)
love it as usual. looks great on iOS 7.
Robert – the field was in South Carolina near the town of Society Hill (a speed trap town by the way.) It was taken on the way south to the final destination in Florida.
Thanks for the correction and info SoundMan.
Robert – No problem. Couldn’t have you running around Orlando looking for a wheat field that wasn’t there an getting eaten by a gator.
beautiful!
