Well it's not exactly street, but hopefully falls under the documentary category. The pace of my life at the moment is governed much more by country matters than you city guys, however modern agriculture seems to be carried out at some speed these days.
A few short weeks ago this was a field of wheat. No room for over wintering stubbles these days, the plough is soon back on the land, in this case a 5 furrow job.
Panasonic G1 with 150mm, f/4 Kern Paillard Yvar C mount lens (for 16mm movie camera), the first time I've tried this lens without an extension tube fitted. Used like that there is some significant vignetting so this is a crop, not severe but just enough to cut the vignetting out.
All the other shots are a Panasonic G1 with 45mm, f/2.8 Leica DG Macro-Elmarit, not cropped.
Getting close to the end of the furrow
Backing up to start the next pass, the plough has been rotated but not yet been dropped
Away back across the field
What did surprise me was the appearance of this disc harrow before the field had been fully ploughed, they're wasting no time on this job.
One thing I have noticed in photographing agricultural practice in recent weeks is that you always get a friendly wave, I guess it's actually quite a lonely job so that anyone taking an interest is looked on kindly.
