Fields of Gold
I have so far completed five images of a new series of landscapes, all at different times of day. The first at midday (a bit warm out there....), the second, fourth and fifth as the sun went down and the third as the sun came up. All are scenes not too far from the house and on the farm on which we live. I still have at least another to do for the series, but here are the first five. They are entitled 'Fields of Gold', after Eva Cassidy's brilliant recording of the song by Sting and in tribute to the beauty of her voice and her arrangement of the original song.

Below - panoramic landscapes
Some years ago I did some panoramic landscapes, taking a view from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock (using a clock face as a descriptive tool). This captures so much more of a particular view. Really good photographers can achieve this but so often, photographs and paintings only capture just a small section of an outstanding view. What is often lost is the atmosphere - the whole image coming together. When we gaze out onto a gorgeous landscape, we are also taking in our peripheral view as well and it is the blending of both views that creates the atmosphere we so enjoy. Producing a panoramic image helps to capture that feeling and the width of it means that the image is coming at you from both sides, capturing a sense of that vibrant energy. Here is the most successful of those panoramic landscapes.
