Spring Rapeseed
I spent a day out yesterday with a couple of fellow photographers, visiting some of the glorious rapeseed fields we have across West Dorset, so firstly, a big thank you to Tony Gill and Mia Lewis for their company and for sharing some of their favourite locations.
Mia is also an expert in infrared photography, so it was an opportunity to try out some infrared images of the multi-coloured landscape.
The day started with a clear blue skies with a few fluffy white clouds building and the fields were glowing in the early morning light. They looked stunning.
We headed up to the fields overlooking the Cerne Valley and spent a good few hours wandering round the fields there. A great spot with many fields out in full bloom and some wonderful landscapes going on across the valley.
The infrared turns the yellow rapeseed to white and the brown fields behind turn very monochromatic. Its a very different look and feel. I liked this composition due to its lines and patterns as well as the split toning of the image.
Infrared photography is something I've only recently started exploring, but I'm sure there will be more coming, especially in black and white.
