Advertisement Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 Hi bill, Take a look here Ploughmen. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
elansprint72 Posted September 27, 2010 Share #2 Posted September 27, 2010 Super series. Did they plod their weary homeward way? What of the lowing herd? Did they wind slowly o'er the lea? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted September 28, 2010 Thanks Pete, it was actually at a ploughing contest at the weekend - one of the last of the shows of the "season". Great to see the old equipment and heavy horses in action. Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzo Posted September 28, 2010 Share #4 Posted September 28, 2010 #1 ... Superb as a portrait. .. #4 & #5 ... Excellent for ''people & their means'' at work. Lovely tonal range in all Bill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted September 28, 2010 Share #5 Posted September 28, 2010 Bill - Terrific series and i especailly like the last. My first encounter with the term "ploughman" was decades ago at a Heathrow snack shop -- The term was on a cheese sandwich. I prefer your ploughmen.

Lovely tonal range in all Bill. I fully agree with Ivan here, this is a very good documentation of different stages of a very old craft.

Rick Posted September 29, 2010 Share #8 Posted September 29, 2010 Nice Bill. I like #4. What camera and lens? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share #9 Posted September 29, 2010 Thank you all for your kind words. This is part of a series that can be seen here: Loseley House Ploughing Match and Country Fair September 2010 @ Stuart: Traditionally, a "Ploughman's Lunch" is bread, cheese, pickle and an apple. The pub and restaurant trade has perverted it into all sorts of ghastly "interpretations" involving ham, lettuce, tomato and other dubious "accompaniments" @ Rick: I was wondering if anyone would ask. All shots were taken on a Panasonic FZ50 - the equivalent of the V-Lux 1. I have recently sold all my DSLR equipment to fund a new acquisition () and wanted something straightforward for the occasional macro and tele work. I liberated this example from eBay during the week and this was it's first outing. I was very impressed, I must say... Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveleo Posted September 29, 2010 Share #10 Posted September 29, 2010 Bill i like the texture and tones through all of these, but #3 looks soft (motion blur ? ). #4 is my favorite composition . . . reminds me of those field worker paitnings by Manet (or Monet, i never get them straight). nice series.
