Well this was either my third or fourth attempt at photographing rice at the Yolo Bypass, and opting for another photo instead. That is rice in the background, but as for a closeup I have no idea how to compose that shot. I think this field will be harvested very soon. I did see harvesters out in the vacinity, and this field has been drained and dried for several weeks now. So it was the dried mud that ended up being the most interesting, especially all the tracks. I tried focusing on the track in the foreground, I think it's probably raccoon. This is my f/5 shot, but I ended up going with it because the composition was better than the higher aperture attempts. I wish I had this composition with f/22. I also don't really like the darkness of the shot. The sun was still pretty low, and if I photographed the patches in the light the contrast was way too harsh. I probably should have switched to manual here and overexposed a little. Or bracketed. I alwasy forget about that setting.
f/5, 1/60, 18mm
