Tractor Show Parade Pics (10)

[jcdeboever]

60th annual, Michigan Steam Engine & Threshers Club, show. Rumley was the feature of show....Xpro 2, 56mm f/1.2, all manual, manual focus, custom chrome. Loved the show, huge turnout. Easier to shoot these now, hopefully next years will be even better. Definitely need an nd filter, always learning I suppose. I actually have one but brought the wrong step ring, all I could fit it on was the 16mm. Didn't do the spark show, was way to tired this year. Cameras need a bath and sensor cleaning. They got trashed this year.

Great set, JC. Love the 'home-brew' baby Rumley in #2.

Okay, I'm not a tractor guy by any measurement ... BUT ... (the big but), I wish I could have shot that show. Man, those suckers look soooo interesting. And, they're all running!

Those are the old ones! Most tractor shows around here seldom have anything older than 1930's, and I have never seen a steam tractor in person.

@Gary A. . You've got one in the fall in Vista CA. People bring their dogs (at least the ones I go to) but the shows are loud. Some dogs don't handle loud noises well, some don't mind at all.

cool. Steam engines are marvelous. I hope you get to see one in action. You farm, right? If so, I'm surprised you haven't been around one.

I help my brother who raises heirloom wheat, but he is selling everything and moving to New Zealand next spring.
