Do Tractors count as Automobiles? I think they do (albeit they're slow ones) so dared to post these here :toocool:

Here's an old one I happened to see today:

Tractor


It's a Deutz

It's been awhile since I've shared any images here. Recently picked up a MFT camera (GX8) since I sold most of my MFT kit a few years ago. Trying out the Pana 100-300mm lens again and my Leica Telyt-R 250 (thankful for the IBIS on the GX-8). All of these shot were either hand held or with the camera on a monopod (especially useful for shooting with the Leica 250).

So far, I'm quite happy with the results and I will probably be taking this camera with me to Spain in September and to the Monterey Motorsports Reunion in August.

One more shot with the GX-8 and Leica Telyt-R 250. While the earlier shot was at f5.6, I think this one was at ~f8.

Time for another airplane pic. I've seen this plane out at the Anchorage airport for many years. I really don't know much about small aircraft models, but for some reason I got it into my head that this is a Beechcraft. I would love to know exactly what it is. Anyone here recognize it?

Panasonic GH-3, 100-300mm lens at 150. Converted to B&W with Nik SilverEfex Pro2. I started with the "High Structure Harsh" preset, then added red filtration, Tri-X Pro film emulation, "Black 1" vignetting and the border. I sure like these B&W conversion plug-ins. I use SilverEfex Pro and Topaz regularly. I try not to "over cook" the conversions, unless that's the look I really want.

Looks like a Piper PA23 Apache.

I think you are right Cunim. A friend of mine who is a pilot and has flown small airplanes for ~40 years said the same.

I sure would like to attend an airshow someday to take photos of older civilian and military airplanes.
