Old Tractor

Saw this old tractor sticking it's nose out of an equally old shed while out driving. I thought that the rust, cedar boards, and mold made an interesting combination.

    I love how the crank handle is in it ric..sort of an optimist owner. That shot is def worthwhile going back for when it has morning or late sun on it.

    I agree Gus!

    I am sure it will still be there.mwink.gif

    It was 110 out and I wasn't leaving the comfort of my suv.

    Thanks. :D

    Gorgeous shot! clap.gif I'd love to see the contrast raised a tad to see the colors pop a bit more. They seem like they might have been richer....

    Love "old stuff" in shots! This was definitely worth letting the hot air into your SUV for! rolleyes1.gif

    Ric, I really like the shot. I'm into old things such as farm equipment, barns, cabins, etc. I would love to make a find like this one.

    Like Gus said, I need to go back in good light.....and I will. I shot this with a long lens, so next time I'll actually get off my duff and use a wide angle lens.

    They have a threshing bee coming up near me in 2 weeks. I may visit it. We used to go every year when I was a kid. It was fun for me and my Dad and Grandpa just loved that stuff.iloveyou.gif

    Great shot! I don't know how much it would benefit from a wide angle shot though, although I'd be interested to see. I'd be tempted to go for more detail shots, like the McCormick-Deering on the front, or see if it has any dials (fuel, oil pressure etc.)

    There are a few old tractors near me which I have a mental note to go back and visit in the right light :)
    I didn't sell out, I bought in.
