Agricultural Decay in the Hunter (DialUp Warning)

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Captured these on Saturday while in the Hunter Valley.

These aren't with my normal kit. All are from a KM Dynax 7D w/ Sigma 18-125mm DC.

The DOF could have been larger in some images, but as all were hand held and some in open shade, a few compromises were made :lol:

#5 (one tractor to farm them all)

#6

#7

#8 (just so easy with the implematic!)

The rest of the set are here

Good, bad or indifferent comment and critique welcome.

Hi Daniel,

I like this series as well. You have been busy lately :)

Having grown up in rural Ontario, reminds me of the equipment that was used back then.

I like the first one, funny about that :D

#4 and #2 as well are a nice take.

Which part of the Hunter were you taking these photos, museum around Maitland?

Thanks for sharing,

André

Thought the first might appeal :)

They were from a property called "Heritage" between Singleton and Denman (nr Coolmoore). They had sort of an open shed day there with as much farming stuff as you could imagine!

some different viewpoints presented here.
#4 is perhaps my favourite for its simplicity and colours although I quite like the effect of #7

well done.
