Rice And Stuff

Went out with all three Fuji cameras today. Came across some more rice harvesting and also played around with some landscape pix.

These first ones are from the S100 fs.

These next ones are from the HS-10.

The last two are from the F200 EXR.

Cheers

Golden Harvest

Around where I live there is a huge network of roads which criss-cross the area. Many are small rural roads which wind through valleys. Travelling any of these roads is often rewarding.

Yesterday I set out very early and into some new areas. Good roads and quite devoid of traffic.

As I travelled, I came across fields of rice, ready for harvest.

I was delighted when not much further down the road I found some rice harvesters at work. It was very difficult to get close, so many of the shots were taken at full zoom (400 mm).

Once the harvesters have a full load, they come to the edge of the fields to unload into waiting trucks.

I even climbed up the side of one of the trucks to get a birds eye view.

The driver of the harvester.

Never argue with a lady with a sickle in her hand.

She turned out to be friendly though.

Some folk out shopping. They were just leaving a small rural store I stopped at.

Peaceful scene.

Cheers
