Just because….

As you may have guessed, I am a little obsessed with taking pictures of Northamptonshire, particularly the Daventry area.  I think I live in an underrated county, and the rolling hills and farmland are prettier than it is given credit for.  At the moment, everything appears to be yellow as many of the fields surrounding Daventry have been planted with Rapeseed this year.

This is a view from the dam at the Country Park.  There are a number of things I like about it.  First up is the s-curve winding through the field, taking your eye from front to back.  I also like the colours, the yellow of the field and the fresh green of the foliage at this time of year.

In addition, there are the layers, those that you see as you look further into the picture, and those of the clouds, massing in the sky.

Most of all though, I like this picture because it reminds me of home – after all, I can be sentimental at times.

I took this picture with my Canon S90, it is on the P setting at the moment, so it chose ISO 80, 1/125 secs, and f/4.0 to go with the zoom of 14.976mm that I ‘chose’.
