I was out last night on a glorious Yorkshire evening doing a bit of landscape photography.  I headed for a field near Woolley, a little village not too far away and spotted this fantastic footpath cutting straight through a field of golden wheat.  I had a few hiccups on this outing, my new polariser doesn’t have a front thread so I couldn’t attach my graduated filters, a serious no no for the shot I had planned so I kept my new CPL in the bag.  I set up and was pretty happy with my original test shot in terms of composition so I tweaked it a little and put my grads on and it was just a case of waiting for the sun to light up the field.  I had envisioned a moody black and white version using a slow shutter to get the sweeping clouds and a little movement in the wheat.  However when I got them back I was happy with the standard colour version but I have decided to post both versions and you can make your mind up as to which you prefer.  In terms of exposure, the colour version was taken at 16mm, f/16, ISO100, 1/13.  I had a hard edged 3 stop ND grad to balance the bright sky and the land.
