Old Massey Ferguson Photo

Photographer’s Note

August - month of agricultural works on Western Isles. When I was walking down the road I noticed this old tractor staying in front of this half-ruined old shed. This tractor and shed looked like the old couple, serving his owners for many years till this time. When I was taking photos, old farmer turned up and asked what I was doing. He was quite suprised that his old Massey Ferguson was such an interesting subject for some guy with camera. But after my explanation, he smiled and returned to his work - very nice guy.

A good subject for a mono shot and very well executed,I like the symetry of the trailor and shed and also the way the shed appears to sit on the trailor.In addition the use of the wide angle gives plenty of DOF to the overall image.
