Description
You think I live here where there a lot of sugar cane is grown I be able to take a lot of shots like this when they planting. This is the first time I ever saw them plant and it is now. lol
i was driveing from church going the back way which be country and not the highway. I saw these tracters and wagons in the cane field and lot of men in the field. I stop the truck turned around and went and park so I could talk to what look like the boss man out in the field. He saw me as I park and got out the truck with a camera and he came to talk to me. I told him I like to take photos and was just a hobby . he say "Yes" so i took a lot of photos. i broke number one rule to check my settings lol I had it on low speed and it wash out a lot of photos when the sun came out from the clouds. It did ok when the sun was behind the clouds. I lost over halve the shots and a lot of them would have been super. I did get some nice effects at the next image I will upload tomorrow on this subjuct.
So please do not get excited to forget to check the setting of your camera. lol
thanks for looking and comments.
You can see my setting for the speed of the camera is slow for day time like this and action

How very interesting and I think it came out just fine ! *** H u g s ***
I lived there and it is the first time I have seen it done.Very nice shot Jock
Very interesting, Jocko! At least they are not slaves like in the old days.
Looks like a hard days work, I never realised they still had to plant the fields by hand ! Kool capture Jock ! ~Cheers~
Just like a few others on here Jocko, this is a first for me also. I have watched docu's on TV, showing the harvesting and burning of the cane but never the planting. I used to work on a farm part time when a teenager, but that was a cattle/milk farm and no crops. I find this shot very interesting and can't wait to see what you upload tomorrow. As for the settings you are not on your own, if we are honest most of us have done the same thing at one time or another. I do change my settings quite often when out with the camera, but I still make mistakes. Excellent capture and a great story to accompany it. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!
Looks like a lot of hard work! Fantastic pic! (:
A wonderful capture, Jock. I have never seen anything like this before. Thank you, for showing us all. Hugs. Di. xx
Cool now take other picture when the sugar cane will grow up ;-)
Excellent documental photo my friend.....!!!

Excellent and interesting shot. Thanks for your effort.
Excellent capture Jock!
A superb picture of these men hard at work in the fields !
I've this in Mauritius Island, time ago !
A very surprising image! It looks like they are just spreading cut stalks into a tilled field. And that is Planting? Amazing! Cool shot, Jock.
Excellent composition and mood!!! Agree erland
interesting and fascinating......lovely shot!
This is a fascinating shot of hard farm work that most of us do not know about.
That is fascinating, I agree. I never knew how they planted sugar cane, now I know! I feel your pain about checking the settings, though!
Wonderful series! You do very thorough reportage work!
excellent !
