I haven&#8217;t seen many of these around Gower before as Gower is mainly livestock and dairy farming. The conditions were still a bit bright, but with the blue sky it was an opportunity to try a few images. Due to the location of the sun and the layout of the bales, the best position for competition was fairly limited so I tried to introduce some variation using different lenses. I think I prefer the image above at the moment, but the image below was a wider view with a 12mm lens. Where I think it fails slightly is in how the bales split the horizon. Ideally any object crossing the horizon should either be well above or below the horizon. In the image they are a bit middling, perhaps I needed to get lower even though it was taken with the camera 1 foot above the ground.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1134\" title=\"Hay Bales at Scurlage 2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Scurlage20100829_NCD8202.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Scurlage20100829_NCD8202.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Scurlage20100829_NCD8202-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Scurlage20100829_NCD8202-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And finally an image of me in action.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1136\" title=\"Hay Bales at Scurlage 3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Scurlage20100829_NCD8205.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Scurlage20100829_NCD8205.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Scurlage20100829_NCD8205-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Scurlage20100829_NCD8205-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You didn&#8217;t think I would show a straight image did you? There is a point to this image. In the low light it is very easy to get part of your shadow or that of your equipment in the image with very wide angle lenses so luckily with digital you can check on the spot. So as the sun starts to drop lower in the sky, take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After returning from my 1-2-1 tuition with Tom at Worm&#8217;s Head yesterday, I saw these Hay bales on the horizon as I headed into Scurlage.
