harvest combine

kali challenged me to "go for some machinery. Some ideas you could focus on.... having a human in the photo for scale, using a slow shutter so that we can see moving parts in motion, isolating your subject by perhaps removing/replacing the background in post processing, thinking about changing your eye-level viewpoint and maybe hdr or other post-processing that brings out grunginess."

Wheat harvest has started, and the crew was next to the county road so I stopped and zoomed in as this combine was approaching. Processed this in lightroom, color efex, and topaz to bring out details and grunge it up a bit.
kali @kali66 Wheat harvest has started and the combines were working next to the county road. Grunged it up for good measure.

Sympathetic processing nailed your challenge April

What a fierce looking beast!

great, i was hoping there would be some mechanised farming activity you could use, the human element is there, the chaff is flying out the back and the processing suits it

I was certainly hoping you weren't too close.

This is quite a shot! And processed really nicely

hello!
we're partnered for get pushed this week
this maybe similar to this photo, but not the rest of your current photos
how about taking large depth of field?

Terrific! I love the processing here, very cool
July 13th, 2020  
You sure ticked it all off, stunning image and great processing.

@arnica17 Do you mean a large aperture with shallow depth of field, or a small aperture with a deeper depth of field. I'm up for either one, just wanted to be sure I knew which you wanted.
July 13th, 2020  
wow. that is a mean machine!
July 13th, 2020  
Great action shot. Lovely edit.

@aecasey a small aperture with a deeper depth of field.
