Remember
those photography classes I was taking with my dad? Well, we’re going to put
those skills to good use this weekend!
My
grandpa rotated his canola crop this year (meaning, he planted canola where he
had wheat last year — crop rotation is good for the soil!), and there’s a
really cool tree in the middle of the field I want to capture. It’s gnarled and
grey and honestly, it almost looks dead…but amid the blooming yellow flowers,
it’s striking!
Maybe
we’ll even have a thunderstorm looming in the background! I’ve always wanted to
take that kind of picture. I know, safety first.
I’m
lucky because I can go on grandpa’s farm anytime I want, as long as I’m not
going THROUGH the fields (and potentially ruining his crops), but it’s good to
remember, as awesome as those canola fields LOOK, you should always ask
permission before going onto a farmer’s land.
My photo
instructor says the best lighting — if there’s no thunderstorms in sight — for
canola field pictures is first thing in the morning, or late afternoon, early
evening. I can’t wait to strap on my camera bag and hit the fields!
Have you
taken a good picture of a canola field? Put it on Instagram and tag
@SupermanDuffy — or email it to me at chase.superman.duffy@gmail.com. Maybe I’ll publish it on my
blog!
Gotta
jet!
