Pumpkin Patch

Thanks! :D

I'll intentionally work with the harshness of what's in front of me. I wandered this pumpkin patch for an hour and just before giving up, boomp, here it was, right in front of me, the image that summed up the character of this pumpkin patch. The blown light on the left was the sole source of lighting for this patch and it added a stark glaring reality to the shot. The whole time I wandered the pumpkin patch, this glaring light was constantly getting in my way; messing with "my" lighting in the process cause of light fall off. This one light was lighting such a larger area so instead of trying to shoot around it, as I had been doing all the time I wandered, I intentionally made it part of the image for it was very clear to me that this light was central to the experience.

It is a strange picture, yet wonderful in another way. Hard to explain, but I like it. Any picture that makes me stop and study it, it a good one to me. I like it and I think you did a great capture of the feeling.

Thanks!
