This post is in response to Cee’s Black and White Challenge. This week’s theme is, Perspective. And here are my photos:
A little while ago I was wandering along the lanes around the village when I discovered a piece of farm equipment, unhitched at the edge of a field. I think it might be a disk harrow but my knowledge of farm equipment is very limited, so I may well be wrong! Usually when I’m photographing things like this they’re attached to a tractor at work in a field. I couldn’t resist snapping a few shots of it from some different perspectives.
The pictures were all taken at the time when my camera was out of use (it’s so good to have it back and working again!) so these were taken on my phone, a Samsung Galaxy S4. I spent quite a bit longer editing them than I’d intended. You can probably tell that I’m quite liking the grunge filter at the moment…
Nice photos! Considering how close you seem to be, it’s probably a good thing it wasn’t attached to a tractor. Now I have an image of you running along behind a tractor waving your camera phone around 🙂

Thanks, Ali! I’ve never quite run along after a tractor but I have followed them on paths alongside where they’re working, snapping lots of photos as I go. I’m sure the farmers around here must think I have a strange tractor fascination… 🙂

Thank you! I have a fondness for an aged effect in general but I felt it worked particularly well with these. I’m glad you like it. 🙂

I’m quite drawn to the grunge filter at the moment and have to resist using it on everything! This is one set I was quite happy to use it on. Thanks for visiting. 🙂
