In my skim summer outings, I had wandered around the neighborhoods near my home. That day, I took the opportunity to take some pictures while taking a walk. Since I was running out of time, I was trying to combine walking and photo walks!
That night in September, it was getting late, the sky was perfect for a beautiful sunset but I had no destinations up my sleeve to make my usual photos! At the perimeter of the neighborhood where we reached the turning point, there was a piece of road that ends in agricultural land. Obviously, the spectacle of the colors of the sunset was unfolding in front of my eyes without me being able to take pictures… 🙁
I then realized that I could still try something with my camera (which I had carry with me nonetheless!). Braving the mosquitoes that rubbed their paws at seeing a human “meal” arriving, I approached the wild wheat plants.
The level of difficulty of the photo was relatively high: it was windy. Since there was little light given the late hour, I had to use a fairly large aperture and a slow shutter speed (f4, 1/30 sec) because I wanted to keep a low enough iso. After several tries, I ended up capturing this image without too much blur of movement! Obviously, the depth of field was quite thin since I was standing close enough to the wheat to have a blurry background.
Not easy to make photograph as the wheat blows…!
