This wretched lockdown has caused me to abandon yet another of my resolutions for this challenge, and that was NOT to photograph a tractor during the whole month, or at least until the 31st! In my defence I claim this one found me, it's actually photographed from the kitchen door of my cottage. I preferred the composition of the image I'll post in the outtakes, except for one thing, it doesn't show the implement that the tractor is fitted with, namely a horrible flail that does so much damage to the hedges. The other annoyance was that most of my posted images have been with the jpeg from the camera using the monochrome settings. Once out of the camera some tweaking in GIMP gets an acceptable image. That almost always involves adjusting the levels and then either shadows/highlights or brightness/contrast. This time I was faced with a coloured jpeg out of the camera, at sometime in setting the filter in photostyle I must have jogged the cursor dial and moved the style from monochrome to scenery, it's got such a hair trigger touch to it, perhaps the most annoying thing about the camera. I don't recall it being that sensitive when new.
