Thank you very much for the kind words!

Outstanding series! Do you primarily use tripod for this type shot or do you hand-hold.

Thank you. For these I did. I didn't need to but I like to shoot at ISO100 to retain the best image quality and clarity.

It looks like you could throw a rock in Manitoba and not miss an old tractor!

nice shots as always

Thank you. You would think so but not quite. I have found a few tractors in my 4 years of exploring for abandoned things but this day I saw more tractors then all those years combined. A lot of these are not visible from the roads. So if you don't know they are there you'd pass right by them.

Some of those must've been quite the bone-shakers to operate; cool shots, Scott.

Thank you. I agree. These old beast are wild looking. I'd love to take one for a drive. Would get quite the looks!

It's great to find stuff like this in the open. I found some great old equipment at the Bridgeport, CA museum, but it was all stacked close together.

Thank you. A lot of these tractors were in difficult settings with other farming equipment close by. This is why I chose a lot of low close up perspectives as I needed to hide many things behind the tractors.

Love the B&W's. I really love #9.... do happen to have a B&W of that one just for comparison?

Thank you. I haven't processed that in BW but I may try that. I chose BW for most of these as I feel it really suits the subject matter. The day was over cast and winter so there wasn't a lot of colour to work with but the ones that had great colour I wanted to keep them in colour.

Amazingly different tractors.

I agree. They are getting harder and harder to find.

I really like # 7 & 9. Very nice work, as always. Thanks for sharing.
