A short while ago, just after a thunderstorm, I went down to the rice field near my house and took the following pictures:
The pictures could be better, but this way they give you a glimpse of my learning of using a camera in manual mode.
Also, I have to admit that for some reason, I’m fascinated by the fact that I have the opportunity to see rice grow for the first time in my life. I do follow this field in particular quite closely and more pictures will come soon.
The beads of water look very cool. I’m still learning how to use all the manual controls on my camera, but there are so many cool things you can do. Keep practicing and posting.
Thanks.
Ironically, as the rice is almost ripe, I was going to take more pictures today, but it’s raining a lot right now. 🙂
I think the rice around my apartment is a bit ahead of the one in the photos, but I should take photos of it, too! It looks great right now! ^__^
Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos!
Thanks.
These pics are a couple of weeks old, the rice is much more ripe now, but it’s true that it was planted last in the neighborhood.
Some fields are – I believe – almost ready to be harvested, this one not just yet. Actually, I hope I’ll get to take a few more pictures before it is.
It also seems to depend on where you live.
During my summer vacation trip in Chubu and Kanto I saw that the rice plants were much riper than the ones back home here in Kansai. And I can imagine that Chugoku, Shikoku and Kyushu are even later.
