I came across this field after photographing bounding hares nearby in the early morning dew ridden grass of mid-spring in Norfolk. When I arrived I had the field to myself, with mists sitting in the lower valley and the smell of damp earth from the furrows fresh from the plough the night before. By the time I had set up and was taking this photo several tractors had arrived and started planting potatoes both sides of me, by the end of the afternoon the field had transformed and was furrowless… Taken with my Nikon D850 and professionally printed in carbon neutral lab in London (additionally for every print bought I donate £5 to the Woodland Trust to help offset any delivery impact). I have chosen to print on Hahnemühle German Etching, which has a warm base tone adding to the natural earth tones of the soil and a mottled texture which enhances the texture of the clods of earth in the field. German Etching is a heavy weight Giclée art printing paper at 310 gsm.
