- 15th Feb 2005 - Shropshire Field

Caught this on the way back from meeting
an ex colleague at Keele Services on the M6.

Very 'we plough the fields and scatter' was Denise's
comment...

Also had a go with PS... blending with one of the
tree gallery shots (with Pylons removed :)).



I can see the potential, but it sure takes time!

Few other shots.





If you look closely you'll see a post has disappeared too. I had the shot
perfectly lined up, but a couple of motorists seemed to take offence at me
using 'their' road to take the shot from! By the time they'd gone the
tractor was one furrow over - so to speak. I think pbase PaDing should
be classified a Dangerous/extreme sport!

Nikon Coolpix 8800
1/164s f/7.4 at 89.0mm iso50 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Lovely shot with the birds in flight. I see this image sometimes, but the birds are always too fast for my camera :o) I agree with your comments regarding motorists - grrr!
Guest 16-Feb-2005 12:33
Great image
Karen Stuebing16-Feb-2005 11:14
This is wonderful with that yellow sky. I keep thinking Hitchcock's "The Birds," though. LOL.
gary becker16-Feb-2005 08:10
Great shot.
anthony legg16-Feb-2005 05:32
Great silhoutte.
It brings back memories of Hitchcock's "the birds".
Guest 16-Feb-2005 01:29
What a great scene to come across! LOL about PAD being being an extreme sport...feels that way sometimes :)
cindyd16-Feb-2005 01:15
Very cool. It was worth dodging the road warriors. We need bumper stickers - caution this car stops at all photo ops, real or imagined - haha. Cindy

It was worth it! Wonderful shot that is greatly enhanced by the sillouette appearance. Good eye to catch this one and very nicely executed.
