Big Photo Challenge...OLD

The Big Photo Challenge

I am participating in Adori(ble) Photography's Big Photo Challenge. I have been following this for the first couple of weeks but could not find a way to add a picture since I don't have a Blog or Web page. I finally broke down and asked my talented daughter-in-law Jen to help me set up a blog just so I could post a picture. Since I already had a picture for last week's topic (OLD) I decided to sneak it in late.

I took this picture near Grays Harbor in Washington state USA. This is a cranberry bog used by Ocean Spray Cranberry Drink company. The Cranberry plants can be seen in the bottom left corner of the picture. When it's time to harvest they flood the field and the cranberries float to the top. After they are herded up, they drain the field and dig out the old cranberry plants with this old truck mounted tractor. This poor old work horse has seen better days but is still in use. I took this picture with my Canon Power Shot S3IS in the Program AE mode with the color settings forced to Vivid to get a higher contrast between the green and yellow.

  1. Gosh I never knew cranberries grew in a bog! Great picture, I bet there were some great textures on that thing too, like rust and all :)

    I entered my photo late into this category too, just couldn't think of anything. Hopefully the random topic generator will be kind to me this week!
