Excellent "action" shot, I had totally forgotten about them getting the cane that way. I saw it in Hawaii but for some reason never thought of Florida doing that too. I hope all the birdies got away...
Awesome capture - a free study worthy kind of image. Love how the birds are swirling around the fire. I read why they do in your blog. This is a very interesting photo!
Wow, that is dramatic! Interesting to read that this is the way it's done and not a terrible disaster! there are really two worlds in this picture, almost like heaven and hell.
FYI - The tractor is actually creating the file. It has a little flame thrower adn it drives down the rows and sets the fields on fire. Then another tractor comes along with a hose & sprays the fire to put it out.
It was very amazing to watch and we were right there across a little street.
This is incredible!!! What a moment of drama to observe. Birds fleeing and here's the guy with the tractor thing - you don't know if he's trying to outrun it or if he's just sitting there watching in his rear view, or even if he doesn't know. I just love it. Great angles and crop too, like the big plunging diagonal and intense colour.
really great colors and such a contrast between them from the cloudy sky to the heat and smoke of the cane burn
if you had shot with a little higher shutter the flame would be a bit sharper still very nice capture all the same
I know Belle Glade, it's inland from WPB. This is a very interesting shot, lots of color and intensity and the birds add a dynamic touch. Looks like the dry season hath struck again ;-)
