Went to the antique tractor and farm equipment show in Apache Junction, AZ about 10 days ago. It is a relatively small show but always interesting. There were a significant number of old tractors, cars, trucks, and farm implements there. Here are a few to feast your eyes on. Spent some time putting new backgrounds behind the tractors. The implement images were just cropped and jazzed up a bit using Paintshop Pro with the NIK HDR plugin.

Thanks Bob for viewing and your kind comments. Thanks to some of your tips I keep improving little by little. I find myself taking fewer photos to get the effects I want. Real difficult to do much composing when they have parked the equipment so close together. Have a GREAT DAY!

Great photos. The John Deere reminds me of the old TV Commercials. An old timer was asked, "How long does a John Deere last." He couldn't answer the question. The point of the commercials.

Great series!
Those Iron seats, only goes to show you how tough they were back then, sore butts and sweating in the heat for hourrrrrrrrrrrrrs on end! (no matter how many burlap sacks they had.) My bottom gets sore just looking.

Thanks for viewing my photos and your comments. Them seats were cold in the winter, hot in the summer, and terribly uncomfortable. Have a GREAT DAY!

Nice photos Jeff!
We don't see that type of equipment near the big city.

Nicely done. The backgrounds you added match the actual scene so well it's hard to tell you were playing ;-)

Thanks for viewing my images and the kind comment. It takes me about 2 to 3 hours to insert a new background. Have a GREAT DAY!
