We wanted to capture a photograph of straw bales on a glorious summer's day. We spent a good couple of weeks searching for a field of round bales, but it seemed that square bales were in that summer! We finally found this field, unbelievably in the next village to us! So we parked up, walked nearly a mile, had to jump a ditch and work our way through stinging nettles just to get into the field. Then just as we had the tri-pod and camera set up we could hear a distant tractor. Sure enough over the horizon came the farmer to collect his bales! We worked as fast as we could to grab a few shots. The farmer was ok about us being in the middle of his field, he only waved his shot gun at us but didn't actually fire it!
