C&C welcome, of course.

Steve,

I see we get a mention in the graffiti as well! Thanks for that - nice to get the recognition!

The creek looks good too BTW, perhaps a little less of the grey branches?

Mike,

It is still the second image for me, and well done with that in the comp.

Thanks one and all for the many comments and observations.

Sam-Joseph - Commiserations on the very unfortunate timing. However, if you can scan the older images, they might be worth a look!

Rob - I started driving on a Nuffield petrol/kero, albeit on a farm, not in town. Not quite a teenager then, as I recall. Your Dad's Fordson may have caught a few glances, while it was parked next to the bungalow!

Elva - Opportunity beckons to you there...

Andrew - Just a wild guess... You are correct, this also is a petrol/kero model, and certainly pre-war. There are so many machines (of all types, not merely tractors) here that were imported from the UK a long time ago. Some of those have ended up in collections, naturally. They even have rallies here, for eg with grey Fergies taking the odd run. They're very well patronised too. I would be interested in seeing your recent work on those tractors, in time.

Kris and Will - thanks, I agree, subtlety was a bit lacking (OK, maybe a lot!). I was attempting (poorly) to overcome the very bright background, which led me to being somewhat heavy-handed with the vignette.

Emma - cheers!

That was quick, given the top shots submitted. And effective too - well done to all (esp. to Jo), and thank you Tozza. Yes - I just drink them without collecting the machines.

For people that have a GPS (not sure about in car models, I'm referring here to hand-helds etc), the latter often have this feature built-in.

Welcome Alvaro, and you'd have noticed that there are quite a few people who also shoot with the K10 then (self included).

And isn't that the truth! (At least for what happens when I come back.)

Thanks again David, and FWIW I agree. It often does work better in black and white.

Perhaps some of the things which we endeavour to capture come from a certain era, where black and white images contextualise the subjects in a way that is consistent with those times.
Then again, that might be just so much waffle too!

Thanks for your comment David, I was there at the opportune moment.
