In the southeast of my town we have large areas suitable for farmland in which the rural landscape becomes beautiful and worth to be there taking pictures especially during the mornings when the mist advances over the ploughed land and its other interesting corners...

These lands belong to a handful of fairly small landowners. Formerly the whole plain was part of a single large estate owned by one of the oldest families in our village, but in the 1960s and 1970s large portions of it were sold off and the present owners are descended from those first purchasers. Around this land the "urban pressure" is enormous and some parts near its margins have been affected by illegal invasions and the like.

The proximity of the urban borders has resulted in the crops and structures built on these lands being the target of continuous theft by unscrupulous people who penetrate the fences and proceed to commit their misdeeds here. This obviously disturbs the agricultural producers and negatively affects their work and the economic yield of their work. Because of this unfortunate problem, access to this land is not as easy as to other places in my village. In fact, to take these photos I had to have the approval of one of the landowners (a friend of my eldest son, by the way) and the fact that he has alerted the groups of security guards they have hired to prevent thefts... It would be silly of me to enter this place in the middle of the fog, surely someone would end up shooting me!... What a crazy way to die with a camera hanging around my neck in the middle of the fog!... Lots of drama as it happens in all my stuff! hahaha :))

Beyond all these inconveniences for access to these lands, I have to say that I really enjoyed my time taking photographs in there. The weather in the morning was cool and a dense fog settled over the whole valley of the arable lands... That's lucky indeed!... The photos were taken using my small 50 mm fixed lens, which is one of my favourites for challenging light conditions as often posed by foggy outdoor photography. My camera was in semi-automatic aperture priority (P) mode at all times and the capture process was based on a constant adjustment of focal apertures and ISO, always depending on the characteristics of the selected photographic plane. The possibilities here are many, you can take pictures of roads, cultivated fields and bodies of water among other things.

Thank you very much for your visit and appreciation!
