I am on a crappy low-gamut monitor on my work laptop, so these pictures show blown out colors (even though they shouldn't be) on my screen. So I'm posting these blindly hoping that they show up decent on a regular screen.

My entries for this MPC come to you by way of Istanbul...

^ That is sweet! Is that HDR or just one exposure?

Thanks Fuzz. Just one exposure and a healthy application of a Lightroom gradient filter. It is unbelievably parched here so it was super dusty and that acted like a natural filter for the sun and having the harvest moon rising behind me didn't hurt.

Local farmers putting up the corn crop. I spent many dull hours on the family farm packing down the harvest.

and I wanted to get out today and try to get something like uglymoney's shot, but it's not looking good for that and his shot is awesomer than what I could put out with my local fields.

Really pushing it with this one. 7D ISO 6400, f4, 1/30 handheld @17mm.

Harvesting moonlight from the Harvest Moon.

I was planning on an experimental photo of me slpitting wood by the light of the harvest moon. However, the weather decided to provide us with the first stretch of 4 consecutive cloudy nights, so that didn't happen. I got this shot yesterday evening but wasn't able to get it posted before the deadline.
