Default Hay Fields
I mowed the hay on approximately 30 acres of fields last week end. I carried my camera with me on the tractor just in case I saw something of interest, and these are four of the photographs I took during the two days.

Haying Season


Daisies


Buttercups and Daisies


I shot this one from the tractor aiming the camera at the ground between the front and rear tires. Tractor was moving about 6 mph. Shutter speed 1/60 sec.

Fast Moving

Second photo gets my vote as the best of the set. Nice color and saturation on the first three.

Hello and welcome .. I am so glad you took your camera with you .. these photos are certainly beautiful and well photographed ..love the ground level angle on the 2nd one .. the single "weed" (?) on the first photo accentuates the vast blue sky .. they're all wonderful images .. outstanding job

I can almost smell the fresh cut hay in the first shot, good job. And remember there are some around that would appreciate shots of the baled hay. Just a small little hint.
