Harvest Sunset
“Hey Scott, can you park it facing west?”
“Hey Scott, can you save that row for last? It’s going to be in the best light.”
“Hey Scott, can you slow down? I’m trying to capture good stuff but the combine is moving too fast.”
…
Scott: No.
…
For those that don’t know, I’ve worked off and on for a friend of mine on his farm. I double-up, having my camera bag on the module builder when picking cotton JUST IN CASE.
I’ve never actually asked the questions at the top and, despite the audacity and ridiculous requests, Scott has never said, “No.” These are actual situations that I’ve had to overcome one way or another when I’m photographing the day-to-day of harvest season.
At the end of the day, sunburn, dust, allergies, and mosquitoes are all worth it for that ONE image.
That was this one.
