Don't worry you haven't got the wrong Flickr feed. I just like to mix it up a bit!
This probably looks like a crappy photo of a tractor..which maybe it is to most people..but for me it was one of my most rewarding images so far.
Why? Because I like to make it difficult! When travelling in France we had an amazing red sky sunset. Annoyingly I had B&W loaded in most of the cameras BUT being out in the very last of the daylight I liked the play of silhouttes against the sky. I ran back to the campervan and got my 4x5 then back to the seafront by which time it was so dark I could barely see. I could only see silhouttes against the brightest bit of sky left so I framed up this.
It was too dark to see my lightmeter so I just guessed. This lens has no controls so I took the lens cap off and counted...
I didn't expect anything (at all) so this images was a lovely surprise!
Leica 4x5 lens, cool eh! :)
