I subscribe to Calvin and Hobbes comic strips in my reader. And I was a few days back reading through a few pages of the book There’s Treasure Everywhere (the link will take you to the comic strip and a blog by Matt Gibbson). That is how I felt when I discovered these golden wheat fields which were being harvested quite close to my neighborhood.
I had this whole wheat field and I tried to click various things. The wheat that was harvested and was on the ground was an obvious choice.
Another obvious shot was to include a lot of the field.
Then there were bits where there still was a hint of green.
Having clicked the fields the next attempt was to click the stalks and throw the background in a blur. Got a bit of green in this shot too.
The next attempt was to try and change the background and include a bit of sky.
So which one did you like? And as I said before, there is treasure everywhere!
I started listing and i ended up with almost all the pics 🙂
Not able to chose though the last one attracted me a lot. Have never seen them so close.
Wonderful Pics 🙂
It is the first time I have seen what we call गेहूँ की पकी हुई बालियाँ in Hindi. Fourth pic is awesome.
It is like choosing my favorite child, they are all very nice. And thanks for the link to Calvin and Hobbes.
Lovely glowing wheat fields! Liked the tinge of green shades too, but the best is golden wheat. The macro has come out really well as if every wheat has got goose bumps on them!
lovely pics, Mridula! all of them are lovely, but the second is my fav! and thanks for linking to that wonderful post! I loved reading it! and so true… there is treasure everywhere,. all we have to do is see it!
The part I luved the best is the cartoon strip n the article by Matt!
Great photos Mirdula. I like them all but probably the first (wheatfield) and fourth one (gold & a bit of green) best.
excellent………………….
each one of them.
fell in love……..
Liked the 4th image. Good DOF and colors, though a little tightly cropped. May be it is just tight for me 🙂
