Second entry:
“Harvest” usually refers to the product of a farmer or a gardener, who has put work into growing a crop, that is now ready to be taken and put to use.
Wouldn't it be fair to apply the word to the fruits of any other labor, applied over a period of time, finally leading to the result that makes that labor worthwhile?
Having lost my job a year and a half ago, I have spent the bulk of this year attending classes at a trade school, preparing myself to enter a new profession as an electrician. I suppose the real “harvest” from this labor will be when I get a job in this field, and am thus able to return to being a productive member of society. But symbolic of this anticipated success, and of the “harvest” from my studies, would be the collection of tools that I have acquired, for my new trade. As one nears the end of the electrician training program at the school I am attending, each student is given a collection of tools. I received mine last week.
The instructor, on seeing the assortment we were receiving, said that the only other significant tool that he thought we needed was a good cordless power drill. He also suggested that I should probably not think of showing up at a job site with the 40- or 50-year old (possibly even older) metal-cased, ungrounded, corded drill that I inherited from my father. So, I ordered a very fine refurbished, professional-grade cordless drill, which arrived yesterday.
Here is part of my “harvest” of tools for my new trade. There are actually quite a few more tools in the bag, but more than this makes too busy a composition. I actually have a few other relevant tools that I have acquired here and there over the past several months, that would belong as well in this picture, if it needed more tools to appear herein.
I used the stock 18-55mm lens on my D3200 that came with it. I took three pictures, in Aperture-priority mode, set at ƒ8 and ISO 100, with exposure adjustments of ± 2 stops; used Microsoft Geodesic High-Dynamic-Range Photography Tool to combine the images; and tweaked it a bit more under a really ancient version of PhotoShop.
