Nature's Golden Wonder

Hi Zoe…the early rising Sun provided the lighting and my friend Angelo provided the wheat in his field. I just pressed the trigger while Mr Olympus did his unfailing duty. Thank you for visiting my Gallery and leaving such an encouraging comment my friend.

Thank you Ellen….appreciate your visit and comment.

Thank you Marvin.

Thank you Thordis….one of the benefits of an early riser and outdoor person. Nature at its best.

Hi Betty….you flatter me again. I think all it takes (apart from what I alredy told Thordis) is a watchful eye for all things beautiful.

Thanks Bot. I think its good to be on your own when out for some photographs. All you need is patience, a camera and a good watchful eye for God’s wonderful creations.

Thank you Sharon.

Hi Elaine my friend. We all should be thankful that we live in a cozy part of the world, but we must not forget those who really need our help. Those who are dying of thirst and hunger, of simple colds and those who have never seen an Asprin in all their lives.
Thank you for your visit and comment. God Bless.

Thank you Deb. It was all there ready for me. All I had to do was to set my camera, point and shoot.

Thank you Rosalie. Appreciate your visit and comment my friend.

Thank you Carol. Glad you appreciate what I share with you.

Hello Alf. I still have a lot to learn. I think the most important is concentration. A careful study of the subject helps a great deal in the end result. Thank you for your visit and encouraging comment Siehbi. Grazi ta’ kollox.

Thank you Gail…..I cannot agree with you more. The same thing happens here in Europe….over production of fruit and veg gets dumped. What a shame.

Thank you Avalon…appreciate your visit and kind comment.

Thank you Kofoed. One of those lucky moments in time. Its just a matter of being in the right place at the right time. When out in the country you’ll come up with a lot of potential for a good photograph. All you have to do is grasp the opportunity.

Thank you Dayonda…..appreciate your visit, comment and congratulations.

Thank you Matthew….appreciate your visit and comment my friend.

Hi Natalie. Welcome to my Gallery. I’m pleased to know you like this picture. Thank you for visiting and leaving your kind comment.

PS. And thank you Natalie for adding this picture to your favourites.

Thank you Maddy. Sometimes the simplest of things turn out to be the greatest of subjects to photograph.

G’day to you Dennis. I was crouched low in the shade of a rubble wall (to eliminate my shadow) waiting for the sunlight to hit my subject. Since the Sun was still very low in the Horizon, light was travelling very fast and I only had a chance of not more than 3 shots before I lost all the required effect altogether. I also had a slight breeze against me which constantly rocked the wheat sheaves making it a now or never opportunity. The bokeh was achieved by my faithful Zuiko 40-150mm lens set at F4.5 and my Olympus E-330 set on manual focus. Speed was set on 1/80, a bit too slow for that lens, considering the camera was hand-held, but the best I could do because of the lighting condition. The past processing was very minimal, just a slight sharpening and light adjustment. The rest was, what I consider under the circumstances, to be, a lucky shot. Thank you for your visit my friend. Your wise and prudent comments are so very much appreciated.

Thank you Phil. To tell you the truth my friend, it wasn’t an easy shot, but I’m glad it turned out good enough under the circumstances. This was the best of the three shots I took.

Hello Janice. Glad you like this picture and the rest of my portfolio. Great to have you visiting and appreciate your encouraging comments.
