“Land of Plenty” by Nick Duke

INSPIRATION I have always liked photographing rural landscapes. Grain bins, barns, and old farm equipment all make great subjects. This particular bin is not far from my house, so I have photographed it several times in different conditions. One morning, I drove by on the way to work and noticed an almost full moon setting over the fields. I thought if I could get a full moon aligned over the bin, it might make a good picture. A couple of nights later, the moon was full. I got there early, set up my camera, and waited as the moon slowly made its way toward the grain bin. I was there for close to an hour and took probably 50 pictures, but this one was my favorite.
