Well here's a change of pace from what I usually shoot...
I was back in Iowa just in time for the harvest to begin - so naturally, I had to get a few snaps of "business as usual" for farmers. I know that a lot of my clients have always lived in heavily urban areas and don't get to see this everyday, so here's a little glimpse of what I saw and a sneak peek of the photos from that trip.
See the pinkish stuff in the first picture? - It probably looks weird if you've never seen it! They're called "bee's wings" - the second picture shows how they float around in a flurry anywhere near where corn's being unloaded. Just like snow, bee's wings coat pretty much everything! When the combine rips the individual kernels of corn off the cob, the bee's wings come loose off the ear too and go where ever they please. They look kind of pretty in these pictures - as long as you don't have to shake them out of your hair, wipe them off your windshield, and inhale them, they're tolerable I guess!
The last picture is just one of many loads of grain that were harvested that day in the great state of Iowa - and across the nation!
In case you've never seen a combine in action:
More to come from that trip soon.
