[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
"Agriculture" is another word for "expensive" these days. So, what happens? The farmers do work to the max to get the most possible profit from their ground.

In this photo you see an example. This farmer has adapted his tractor to the new requirements .... because he simply wants to pick up EVERY POTATO in his harvest !!! Every potato counts these days, isn't it? ... yes, it is.

Thats why he adapted his tractor to a 12 cylinder vehicle. (By the way: his uncle is the Flying Dutchman!!).

I've uploaded his brother in the workshop. There you can see that his brother is too a very fanatic wag. His specialism is corn and he too wants to pick up every grain in its harvest.

Never underestimate a dutch farmer !!

Hallo Joop.
Met deze kar kan je zelfs "Den Haag" uit de stront trekken, toch ?
Nee, niet doen, laat ze maar verzuipen.!
Prachtig stukkie thuisvlijt van die 'domme' boeren.
Ze kennen er wat van.!
Mooi plaatje, joop.

The absolutely funniest thing that came up with this photo...was an advertisement which happens once in a while but this time it fit the image..and now it is gone... BUT not before I capture it! it said:

Joop You are a genius...and even Google knows it ha! Funny guy...very much like me...

Haha ... what a tractor!

Good job with the metering and sky, I think this shot is a great candidate for adding gaussian blur or similar into the background in PP, just to create that shallow DOF effect - otherwise the sharp background, including that guy in the red shirt behind the tractor, becomes overpowering.

scherp beeld vol kleur "un bijou

hi Joop

wow! ready to roll! very interesting shot of this big machine and nicely captured sharpness and color. That is a big turn of wheels.

tfs, bill

Hoi Joop,

Hahaha, grappig. Wat een vette pluim rook in de workshop. Ja, je moet wat over hebben voor je maisveldje. Ook leuk om te zien dat de tegen-gewichten op de neus van dit voertuig de standaard tractor-gewichten zijn die m'n pa ook op z'n tractor heeft hangen.

Groet! Dennis

Good soft light. nice capture.

Okay Joop, je hebt het weer voor elkaar, nou denken ze in het buitenland dat hier de boeren met een racehelm het veld op gaan om aardappels te rooien.
Die broer van de boer kan er trouwens ook wat van!
Enige foto's.

Oh man, I SO need one of these! HAHA! Great shot, love all the intricate details of this machine! Nice pp work here Joop! That looks like an awful lot of engine for those small front tires! Scary!
