Round or Circle?
Preparing for today's blog, I asked myself: what's the difference between circle and round? The answer: circle is two-dimensional and round is three-dimensional.
I drove past this field this morning on my way to work and said to myself: that's it! Roundness all around :-) ... I'll go back tonight during the golden hour ...
The objective of today's blog is to focus on the form of the object and find the best way to emphasize its shape.

But I couldn't resist emphasizing its texture as well. In post-processing I punched up the sharpness because black & white is ideal to emphasize the texture.
I am not a fan of sepia (at all) but somehow I really like it for this motive.

It was brutally hot today, almost 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius).

Rounding out my series of roundness ... a final round of a round hay bale.

Hope you enjoyed it.
What a beautiful set! Each photo has such wonderful (and different) compositional elements. I especially like the lines and shadows in #5 and the light in #4.
