Soybeans, with haze

Last September 5 I headed out to breakfast, then bought some bird seed at Horrocks. Since the garden shop is across from the Delta Township Fire Department, I was able to capture my planned photograph. I'll talk a little more about that down the page.

Back in January I mentioned that if the day's foggy, the fog tends to become my subject. Haze has pretty much the same effect on me. I've grown addicted to the layered depth I can capture in such conditions. This photograph's an example.

This photo shows the limitations of the tablet's camera. The Galaxy Tab's 3.15 MP image is only barely large enough to capture any detail, which is OK for a photograph like this but severely restricts the things one can photograph with the device. (Compare, for instance, this.) On the other hand, the sensor captured enough beanfield detail here to make the photograph work. I'm certainly satisfied with the result. (FWIW, my tab's a nearly-two-year-old 8.9 inch model.)

And one of the considerations driving the monthly camera changes in the 366 Snaps project was forcing myself to work within--or around--each camera's limitations.

==========

As I mentioned above, the fire station was my planned photograph for the day. In this case the relatively incapable camera was an advantage, because my intention was that my processing resemble an architect's drawing. The fire station's so sharp-edged and tidy that the effect's a reasonable objective.

This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps.
