No 1 for me.
It has simplicity and a pleasing colour and composition. Nice one Kris.

I gladly welcome C & C's. Being foggy minded they really help me learn.

Fantastic shots, Kris, but there again I would say that, wouldn't I? And just when I was trying to wean myself off this kind of thing.
Is the Marshall a single cylinder Field Marshall? If so it's a most interesting tractor used mainly by contractors for forestry work etc. You start them with a hammer and a shot-gun cartridge without the pellets. The single two stroke (I think) motor shakes the chassis and everything around!
Back to the pictures...
I very much like the two Drott ones (what a name!) and the first one is like a painting by Mark Rothko.
There's two ways of doing this: you isolate details or you include an out of focus back ground. I prefer the first approach but I suspect that most people woud prefer the second. Sometimes, of course, it's not possible to lose the background.
If the top of the final one were to be cropped I think it would improve the image. The trees are a bit of a distraction, in my opinion.
The monoconversion is interesting, but for once, I prefer the coloured ones as the different decaying hues are so important.
Best wishes,
Andrew

Great set, love the pinky red! Not quite so keen on the mono though.

Just had another look at these, Kris. The bokeh you get from that 100mm is of a very high quality. Almost worth provoking it for its own sake!

Luckily for me these vehicles are about 3 minutes walk from my front door. I should exploit them more.Fantastic shots, Kris, but there again I would say that, wouldn't I? And just when I was trying to wean myself off this kind of thing.

I don't know about the Marshall, I'll ask Dave -- my landlord -- when I next see him.
I am just starting to get a feel for the 100mm lens. I can see why John liked it so much.
Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Just asked the landlord about this and it isn't a Field Marshall (although he did have/drive one of those) but a slightly later version, I think he called it a Track Marshall.Is the Marshall a single cylinder Field Marshall?

Ahah! There was a single cylinder tractor like that over here, called the Bulldog. Start up the same way, the whole tractor used to jump around (ie lift off :shock. Enormous torque, but oh boy...

The first five shot with a SMC-M 100mm f/2.8 lens, the last three shot with a Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 close focus lens by Komine. All taken using a Manfrotto tripod, remote release, 3 second delay, no SR.
Best wishes, Kris.
