Good day, m’lady. And greetings to any who follow.
What a wonderful old tractor!
I don’t have shots of anything that old, but sticking with vehicles, here’s a shot from yesterday, heavily processed to get a vivid and kinda geometric abstract look…
[Nikon D7500 + Nikkor 18-300mm at 160mm, manual mode, 1/640 sec,
f/9, ISO 360, processed in ACR & PSCS5]It was fun and liberating to do something outside of my usual style and subjects.
Good morning Patty and Dave and any who follow.
I have been a bit busy this morning. Son locked himself out of his car last night, so I had to go pick him up from work, take him back this morning, then wait for a locksmith to come and get the car open. That set me back a nice chunk of change. I told DS he needed to have some spare keys made and keep one somewhere on the vehicle and another at home. We’ll see if that happens.
Wow, what a great old tractor. Looks steam powered. I Googled steam powered tractors and was amazed at the number. Never did find one that looked exactly like that one though.
I like the look of the auto photo Dave. The colors are nice and it does have a bit of an abstract look.
Moving away from vehicles, I thought I would post a couple more from my first photo shoot with the new macro lens.Water droplet on leaf.

Glad to hear that, Dave!
The concentric arcs of varying color and texture
is interesting, especially he amber lens.Thanks for comment on the tractor.
I’m still hoping to find out what the manufacturer was.
There was another one there, a Case.
Awful shot though! Halfhearted composition with all
that blinding light

Photos are ©2021Honestly Don, your post was not there when I posted.
This is happening a lot lately!
The water drop on the leaf actually made a shadow. That’s pretty cool!
I have no idea why you know that is turkey tail fungus except that being a macro photographer, you have researched these things!
The color diagonals look great.Lost Keys: ugh! Dad to the rescue.
DH is over DSs house working on the heatpump circuit board for his house.
Dad to the rescue.We went to the Southeastern RR Museum yesterday.
(the tractors were there)
It’s in Duluth, GA so if you ever find yourself in Duluth wondering what to
do, check it out. (its high density in that area)
I’ll be posting pics over the course of the week.
I am in touch and go mode here.Every Independence Day, Cumming, GA has a steam tractor parade.
They run right down the street.
(rubber banding on steel wheels)
I don’t know who’s video this is.
They also have static displays of hit and miss engines etc.

There is more on YTAll of the RR displays are under cover. Some of he luxury pullmans etc are in
a large steel building.
The flood lights were difficult to work around,
but most of the steam engines, you could climb up in
the cab to the engineers seat and see all the pressure gauges,
drive controls, the firebox and attached tender car.
There were lighted Christmas decorations all around the displays and one of the engines was decked out in lights and large wreathetc. (which I’m sure the kids enjoyed but for historic captures it was a bit much!)Fujifilm X100F, XT20 + Nikon Camera Bodies & Lenses
Photos are ©2021Patty, you come up with the durndest engines that were ever dreamed up. I like them all.
Don, looks like you’ll be getting lots of use out of your new macro lens.
It would be great if the powers that be would recognise that image size for a photography forum
should be governed not by dimension (800px longest side) but by its weight (500KB regardless of dimension)
That would put us in the 21st century among the forum elite! :clear:Dave, certainly you created an colourful abstract from a well spotted detail.
So, to follow Patty’s theme, here are a few funky relics from Australia’s rural past.
PLease note, aside from sizing and adding my monica, I have not attempted to crop or process any.

When we were at a cafe for lunch, I aimed my White Bag Incident from Anne to me – and did the image. The cafe light was quite low that is why I chose RGB Value 43
At home, I did a RGB Value Check My value of choice is Value 43 This is a half Value 96 of a Grey Card. The cafe room light showed this Half Grey Card Reflectence
Anne’s skin color here is quite similar to that of Queen E II in some images

Photos are ©2021I have been busy all day since 10 a.m. and too tired to talk about it.
I am just going to look at all the great photos you shared with us today and talk more tomorrow. I need to relax now as I hum, “the old grey mare, she ain’t what she use to be, ain’t what she use to be, ….”
