Mustard Fields... by julzmaioro

Mustard Fields...

I have been waiting for a real 'Blue Sky Day' to get this shot of the mustard fields in a nearby district.. ( we have plenty of BSD's but a case of wrong place wrong time) .. Alsthough today was very cloudy the mustard was just glowing .. like this pov with the roof of the nearby Market Garden packing sheds just showing above the crop .. and the tractor and trailor looking pretty tiny in this landscape...

The Mustard crop is grown as 'green manure' giving the paddock/field a rest for a season and then the crop dug in ready for another crop.. either onions or potatoes...
Beautiful shot.

With all that yellow I can see why you wanted blue skies, but this light is working well. Interesting information thank you

I think it works better with a cloudy sky than it would with a blue sky, I love the contrast between the yellow and the grey.

But this is neat too. Blue sky is next years shot.

A beautiful farm scene, it’s interesting that the mustard is not harvested and sold. Of course I know absolutely nothing about harvesting and selling mustard! Smile.

Gorgeous scene -- the yellows pop against the cloudy sky.

I love to see your fields of mustard. Such a lovely scene.

Lovely capture.

I love your POV, giving us a glimpse of the tractor and sheds.

Bet you were watching this crop flowering & hoping you would manage to get a good shot in before the flowers died! I know nothing about mustard crops so it was good to learn all about its use & life as a green manure crop. I do 5 know if they use mustard the same way here, I have never heard of it but in the more horticulture areas it might be a common practice. Fave for me, it’s a lovely sight.

Like this with clouds and they bring out the yellow saturation

Love the pov you've used here, makes for an interesting shot full of texture as well as colour.

@golftragic Haha I didn't have much choice in my pov as I tried to get closer to the edge of the crop but there was a weedy drain between the road and the crop... I nearly slipped in it .. so then moved back to the road and be a little higher... lucky it worked out for me..

@julzmaioro Oh wow, so glad you didn't finish up in that drain. Would've been very embarrassing, not to mention inconvenient.
January 19th, 2019  
Looks so bright and cheerful. I am pleased you didn’t fall into the drain.
