Magnificent horses, well portrayed. I like the way you caught the action and where in the frame you positioned the farm buildings in the first two. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Sat, Jul 20, 2013 at 9:31 AM, David J Brooks wrote: > Friday was the annual plowin

Peso The annual plowing demo

David your photos are very nostalgic and beautiful. Needs to be preserved for posterity. It makes me happy to be a part of Ontario as I often travel between Toronto and Guelph and enjoy rural life all the way. I do hope more younger folks keep up the tradition as I see only happy old timers in the

Christine that is a fantastic shot! Love it! Angle and light is great. Expressions wonderful! I have a friend who has a friend who does family portraiture in people's homes. It's understood by all that when shooting portraits in the house--especially of kids--the photographer may have to re

There is no place like an airport. Bus terminals and train stations tend to be downtown; you can walk about during layovers. You basically can't leave an airport between flights. Most of them have no pedestrian access off and on the property. Even if you could leave, what would you do? Walk sev

Re: Peso The annual plowing demo

Wow an old Massey! The farm I worked at a long time ago had an old 55hp Massey. It was a great, reliable tractor. We had a couple closed cab, modern 110hp Masseys too. They were amazing tractors. A couple of 55hp Kubotos (sp?) as well. Massy-Ferguson always made first rate tractors. Cool captures.
