This is a wider view of the field located off of Millburn School road close to HWY 159. The urban scenery and the rural setting makes for a very stark contrast that we do not live in a very big world anymore.

This is of a Soybean that is ready for harvest. I had never seen what they looked like in nature. They do not look like much. If i did not know better, i would have said that they look like a dried weed near the ditch i had to cross to get this photo.

Vacant Field...

Vacant Field..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

As i was driving home on Millburn School Road today i saw a field that i have driven by many times. I looked and just happened to have my camera today so i got out and took several photos. I then decided to take a series going from left to right to make this panorama creation. To me, this photo symbolizes the Autumn is upon us.

I used my Minolta 35-105mm lens to take the initial series of photos. I could have cropped the photo to give it nice straight lines but i wanted for people to get the whole photo, not just a portion of it. So many photos that we look at are nice and neat, cropped to *perfection* and processed to the Nth degree. I wanted people to feel the rawness of this photo and also the beauty of it!
