Tractor Wheel
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 28 September 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual.
Taken at Solanco Community Fair, Lancaaster County, Pennsylvania, USA. I was attracted by the bright colors and the simple design.
*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****
I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

This kind of boldness seldom fails and it works a real treat here : just enough detail to support the oomph of that color !

What I like is how much this looks like a kind of industrial flower. Hadn't thought of it except that your lens showed me. Thanks.

@GJC: I thought the same, but didn't quite know how to put it into words. You did it for me. Thanks. :-)

LOVE the color, and that it's a tractor wheel. Will we see more tractors? Beautiful composition, very well done!

@Betty: Thanks, Betty. No more tractors. The other tractor photos I took didn't turn out so well.

At first sight it's quite a different subject from your mainly preferences. Indeed it has these bright colours in common with your flowers.

@António Pires: Thanks, Antonio. I thought so too.

Bold. Graphic. Colorful. I can visualize this piece framed and hanging in an office or loft apartment. Cool!

Well, you did wonderfully in capturing this tractor wheel. I love the composition and the bright colors. I hope you had fun shooting tractors at the fair - that is definately a great place to try and capture them.

@Chris: This in the only image I like from my fair photos. I didn't spend much time at it, but, am encouraged to try more next time.

Great job Anita! I like how you shifted gears from the flowers. I love the colors and it's nicely composed. My only thought would be to include the bottom bolt that was cut off. (Maybe a half an inch more... )

@Ed Heaton: I completely agree about the bolt. Unfortunately, I didi not take a photo that included it. :-(

Colorful and clean.... not what you might expect from a tractor wheel...

Yellow and red together are a favorite color combination. Love this old find and how you filled the frame with it.
