Cherhill Down 02


After harvesting cereal the dry stalks of straw are baled. The most common type of baling machine in industrialised countries today is the round baler. The machines wrap netting or twine around the bales to make them keep their shape. Being round, they will of course roll away and transporting them presents safety challenges. People have been killed by bales falling on them, or on their vehicles when following a load.
Straw has many uses. Often it is used for livestock bedding and fodder. Cattle and horses will eat straw but other feed is desirable to keep their health and strength up such as hay, which is dried grass, and much more nutritious than straw.
Photographed with a Nikon D2Xs at ISO 100, a Tokina 50-135mm f/2.8 lens at f/8 and 60mm focal length. 1/160th sec.
So: everything pretty much set up where its performance is optimised. Nevertheless, Lightroom was able to add a bit of je ne sais quoi. In particular I slightly changed the shape of the bales. In reality they were near perfect cylinders, as is apparent from other pictures in this series.
