Stunning photography! I adore these tones. I would love to be able to get an effect like that. It really brings out the beauty of the machinery.

Beautiful Golden Retriever waits patiently in the back of the pickup for his master to return. This guy is a regular at Avila Beach in Southern California. The railroad tracks carry huge freight trains that cross Idaho. The American Indian man was leaning against a wall at the Pow Wow in Post Falls, Idaho. This moving symbol is part of the Vietnam Memorial that is traveling to cities in the USA. Crumbling house speaks of another time.

Behind The Lens

Location
I took this photo in Dalton Garden, Idaho, a community of one-acre properties adjacent to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
Time
Probably about 11:00 a.m.
Lighting
Natural lighting.
Equipment
Sony Nex-6 with 14-55mm lens.
Inspiration
I was driving around in this rural area looking for objects/scenes that caught my eye. This old, broken-down tractor was about 30 feet from the road, just pulled over by a fence. I loved the red color and the broken wheel. It seemed symbolic of an earlier time there on the farm.
Editing
I used a few sliders and an in-camera HDR.
In my camera bag
I carry a Sony Nex-6 and a Sony a6000. My lenses are a 14mm, 14-55mm, 50-210mm and fish-eye. I carry a bean bag for stabilizing and some cleaning materials, extra batteries and memory cards.
Feedback
It's amazing how many photo ops exist in a rural neighborhood. The windmills, barns, goats, horses, fences, horse trailers, tractors, mailboxes, paths, old trucks, etc. etc. I drive around, get out of the car and approach a scene. I do, however, always look around for loose dogs that might be protective about the property!
