I like this photo a lot. And I enjoy being in situations like the one you were in, its a good rush! And even better that you got some photos in the process.

Impressive! I´ve never seen a view like that.

Love the detail in the corn - unique shot

nice, i wish we had some snow down here in germany...

Sam, this is stunning. The exposure and contrast are first rate and handheld at that speed it's sharp as a tack. Makes me want to hike out to the local single field that's still standing and try one myself.

WOW I love this one! The colors and the subject are fascinating. Nice shoot!

Very effective and the exposed cobs add to the visula interest

lol! there really is an intertesting story bethind this interesting pic! this is the best ive seen in days....

Wierd.
What's with all the wasted corn?
There was a similar field up by Keele and Teston. The corn was left on there until just a few weeks ago (long dead).
Is there a market for dead corn or something?

I've come to the conclusion that when it comes to photoblogs, yours just can't be beat! Your photos are incredible (You've made me want to own a Canon digital rebel...too bad I can't afford one)

What a memorable shot!

Just goes to show the great lengths you're willing to go to for your art Sam!

I hope the owner didn't catch you guys :(

FYI. Sweet corn is a healthy snack for raccoons. I hope they don't mind the frozen ones.

very nice and very cold!! I can't wait to hear more about your run from trouble. I can't believe you were able to get a clear shot while running from someone! :) LoL Here in the south, if you get caught on a farm, you run from the farmer with a shotgun!

I don't know weather it's the medicine I'm on, or if I am truly in awe. But this is my favorite photo you've ever taken!!

Coop.

P.s. Did you guys get raped? Sorry I couldn't resist.

Oh right on, I really like this shot. The tones are just great on the white snowy backdrop. Well done! I look forwad to more from this series.

"and this is when we're trying to hide and escape from the owner!"

is this why the photo is late today?

you know you're a committed photographer when you're taking photos even when you're in danger of being caught!

great tones and textures.

The corn on the stalks is not being wasted, it's not meant for eating, this is feed corn that the farmer will sell as silage or as pig feed. It was never meant for human consumption....Nice shot by the way!

Great shot. It reminds me of the great sequence Hitchcock put together in NORTH BY NORTHWEST when Cary Grant's character tries to evade the crop duster out to kill him in the corn field. The photo captures that childlike sense of grand adventure of hiding out from someone.

I'm just surprized to see corn still standing anywhere. Nice shot though.

Crazy story, I read it on chris' site. Funny, but probably not at the time!! Nice pic by the way.

Please show us some pics of the crazy tractor. We know you have some! ;)

Holy sh*t dude lol i read what happened through sigmas photo blog site of what went down, thats Freakin crazy haha. anyways sick pic.

Gorgeous shot, Sam! The tones, textures and composition are lovely. Beauty in decay.

I feel sad about the old farmer, though. Who wouldn't be half-crazed, living like that, and likely alone. I wonder if he is desperately trying to hold on to his way of life while ugly housing developments and malls creep ever-closer.......

There's a big challenge for you - find beauty and character in a new subdivision!

Well, more it looks like a cemetery... Specially these dead brown and yellow colors in corn leaves and stems remember me deads' bones and hairs...

Very original and memorable. It is really great seeing these really original shots come up. And reading the background story just make me appreciate this picture more.

looks like a crazy day....
anyway, great picture you have here. As always, colors are amazing.
Thanks

mmm
corn!

I wish we got snow like that here in N. Texas. Did you manage to escape the farmer? Nice composition.

Don't trespass in rural Ontario.

We don't pitch a tent on your lawn or pee in your condo lobby.

PS I really like this photo. I see lots of corn fileds but this captures it all.

Kheili kheili zibast!
vahshatnake(az nazare zibayi).
movaffagh bashid!

Definitely a farmer with a shutgun... and also very much "shining".
Your picture with Chris's story match perfect.

I have been enjoying your photos for over a month, now. I am very impressed with all of them. Good work!

P.S. I voted for you. :)

This is a marvelous photo (and I never use the word marvelous)

Great shot! Good that the farmer didn't have a shot gun ... you wouldn't have had an ear to stand on '-)

Wonderful image of the corn, and also find images on Chris’ site!

But I can’t condone trespassing, especially around farm animals. Putting this in perspective, could I walk around your home without permission, taking pictures? Even more to the point, could I walk around your place of business, in the middle of your equipment, without your permission?

Wonderful corn image — I’ll most certainly keep watching your images. But more respect for property rights would be appreciated, please.

Good one.. really love the corn detail peeping out.. amazing way you've used DOF

Sam should have snuck a couple shots of the guys face after Chris asked him what happedend to his tires :P That would have been a funny shot

Kinda looks like Creepy Camouflaged Horses with rotting teeth, at first.

wow. it does.

really neat shot, I like the colours.

Wonderful shot. Unfortunate incident, though it will certainly teach you.

I like the feeling here... does seem like you're hiding. You have my vote, Sam!

Great shot! Colors and focusing detail are great. I had a very similiar experience with some unfriendly land owners. Too much to type, but glad you all are okay!

You're getting some great traffic, and no wonder with photos like this. Like the 43 before me, I have to say this is a wonderful shot, one of my favorites. I do, however, find it a bit corny (sorry, I couldn't resist).

Oh wow! Great shot! I enjoy the exposed piece of corn in the forground.

it is very nice .colors and ... .
I don't say any things .

Fantastic, grim photo. I had exactly the same impression as Stefanie. I was amazed no-one else did.

Wonderful photoblog.

Amazing how the corn resembles a horse. Beautiful shot.

Gute Arbeit hier! Gute Inhalte.
