Thursday’s Task

[Peter Michal]

I finally found a red barn that I think will make a great foreground here in Kalispell, but I need some better weather (i.e. anything other than plain grey) to shoot it. In the meantime...

Kyle, Your black and white photo has a lot of charm for me.. the light on the mountain tops and the soft blanket of snow on the mountain ridges. Nice!

Ben, it looks like this cottage is going to fall down soon, but the photo with the warm colors is very nice..

Nice photos, John. This time I was more fascinated by the bales of grass clippings. I love this theme.

Jim, these are beautiful photos. The environment of the Philippines is always attractive to Europeans. Excellent processing, Jim!

I don't often capture active farms but I did find some images that fit here. For the oldest one I wish I had been able to stop and shoot some images during a visit to Egypt back in 1977 when I was with a team doing survey work in the rural area between Cairo and Ismailia. Everything was manual labor down to and including the family cow going in circles to drive a water wheel bringing water into their irrigation ditches. Sadly I was never in a position to stop and shoot but I did grab a drive by shot of a guy bringing his produce to the market on a wagon being pulled by a donkey. Image quality wasn't exceptional from a moving vehicle. This is near the outskirts of Cairo.

Nice pictures Alan, especially the first and last frame. Especially the third photo is very pleasant with the color of the wavy fields. BTW, what is the drone equipped with that the photos are of such good quality?

Rick, this landscape of white snow with colorful red trim on the houses is wonderfull.. and a beautiful tree adds to the photo's charm!

That image is from a Mavic 3 drone using a 24mm lens. The nameplate says Hasselblad but I am not sure which components are really made by them.

I should add that the last image is taken from a mountainside with a Canon 5d MkIV and is not from my drone.

Thanks for the info Alan, I'll take a closer look at this drone even if I stick with the classic camera.

There is a new version of the Mavic 3 coming out next week so don’t do anything rash like buying the current model.

Totally rebuilt for the tourists and a dog apparently. I was working there once and bored at night.
