Making Hay

I followed John's advice and like the result. I used the Thomas Newton Tones action in photoshop. This is the Silver Gelatin conversion.



I replaced the original, boring image.


other sizes: small medium original auto

We have round ones here too sometimes! Cheryl I have been wanting to get a shot like this too, but never have the time to stop. Great job!

Ah... it's obviously a different species of bale in California. Yours are less rounded, and definitely more square - and regimented! Excellent shot, superb toning. You did good.

Much better. Love the combination of regularity and randomness.
Lee Rudd27-Sep-2005 20:35
so they stack easier!? I like the geometry

HAY, that's nice! Cool filter!!! And WHY are our hay bales square anyway?? LOL!!

I am facinated actually by the repetitive even perfect lines of the haystacks. They seem to go on into eternity.

Gosh - someone's got alot of walking to do!

Have you tried this one in B&W and cropped tighter?

Square bales. Now, that's something you don't see much anymore. I like the way they're all in rows. Actually, they seen to lend themselves better to that perspective than the round ones.
