There's only so much variation to be had in the pictures of crops in fields, so it's getting harder to find anything fresh. A new crop is one way, or a different arrangement of the rows. In this case it was both. Potatoes are sprouting now. When they flower there'll be a chance for some colour, although the rows might not be so obvious as the leaves fill out.
A change of light is another potential variation.
Or just development of the crop.
I'm not sure what the attraction is of things in fields.
I suppose they add detail to the story.
It took me a few goes to make a picture of an irrigation outlet. The old favourite head on shot did the trick.
Crops are starting to be picked on a large scale now. Finding ways to show this in a graphical way, rather than showing people doing the picking, isn't easy as things look less well ordered than when the crops are growing.
The weather has changed and become the more usual British summer of grey skies and flat light. Which is fine in its way.
Although the main focus of this project is the flat, farmed landscape I am also drawn to the greenhouses in the area I'm photographing. Maybe they will become the focus for another project in.
