Rural landscapes: amidst the canola

PHOTOGRAPHING CANOLA, NEAR CALGARY, ALBERTA

This is the first time I’ve put a smartphone photo on this website. I’m a snob when it comes to photography; in my view, photos are made using cameras, not phones. All that said, I often try snapshots like this while out on photo trips and I happen to like this composition enough to publish it here. I was careful to make the distant oil pump a secondary point of visual interest, so your eye could start at the camera/tripod, then wander through the glorious canola before landing at the oil pump.
