After the Harvest

20Aug10

Following on from yesterday’s post, fields are being gradually cleared of their grain crops.  The oil seed rape is also being cleared away.  But the architectural items of the harvested fields are the bales of straw dotted around.  The weather has been rather mixed round here, as you can see, so the whole harvest is a series of short sprints to get the grain in inbetween showers.

Following conversion from raw, I warmed up the white balance with a cludy preset, took Recovery fully to the right to deal with small specular highlights, Definition was boosted to bring out the texture of the straw and boosted contrast and colour through slight Vibrancy and a s-curve.  A light vignette was added for emphasis.
