Harvesting...

When the weather is right, the harvesting must be done. I snapped this image of the combine harvester passing just in front of the house at nightfall - it won't be until the early hours of the morning before they finish. Whilst far from perfect, I was happy with this at 1/5th of a second hand-held and at ISO 12800.

BoB... of course.

This is part of farming that many never give a thought of. Great photo. FAv

Neat night shot

Wow! No longer can they use the phrase "make hay while the sun shines" but of course, they are nor making hay. Good job with the long shutter speed and hand holding the camera. I'm afraid I'm too shaky.

Gotta get the job done while they can!

[Jane Pittenger]

Bet they will be good and weary

[Marnie]

At least that hot weather's good for something.

Cool shot of a long day's work.

Beautiful on black, but hard work for the operator of the combine harvester.

[Margo Sayer]

It's like a having our own private combine harvest festival and floor show. Ideal weather, dry and windless.

You have an amazing ability to handhold at low speeds! I like the blue and yellow together here and the action!

I'm back(!) and very pleased to see you're still posting. Striking how far you have been able to push the ISO in this shot and get away with it.

I should think you were happy with it Richard. But a tank is still a tank even if it has been painted bright yellow!
