Fall at the farm...

I love harvest time at the farm. These images were taken this last fall 2010 where we were able to spend time with my husbands family cutting the corn crops for Silage. There was a nearby wildfire that raged on for a month. The air was thick with smoke and ash floating down out of the sky as if a dry, eery, early snow had arrived. As for the farmers, they continued on their work cutting corn and I was able to tag along and take some amazing photos. The images have a beautiful golden hazy cast to them.

I thought these images were lovely enough to re-post. Thank you for visiting my blog: http://shareephoto.blogspot.com/

The ground is so uneven from the irrigation furrows, they need to plow a path so the dump truck can  drive on it without being jostled around too badly.

Following the tractors so they will not run into the the fence lines.

Checking on the belts...

BELOW: I took this shot out the window of my car. It is beautiful. Its not often, I get "out of the car" shots that look this good. I am putting this one up in my house. 

Okay,  I am dying here. The smoke in the air created this beautiful, warm light. I used no fill flash, no adjustments on photoshop...just pure perfection. I love it when an impromptu photo sitting with my children presents itself. This one and the next few are for my wall.

Getting her toes dirty with daddy. I think it is a requisite while playing in the country.

Here are a few more images that created amazing shots from the smoke:

I went for a Sunday drive and came up with these three images. The smoke blankets the mountains and ALMOST made this area look as though we were on the great planes. 

Have you ever taken images of your surroundings when your atmosphere was transformed by the weather or the air conditions?
