We were out at Finn River Farm (in Chimacum, Washington, about 10 miles south of Port Townsend) getting some dinner and were waiting outside. It was the first weekend in November and we were very lucky to get a sunny day. Even luckier was to be treated to this natural light show. The other folks that were around didn’t seem to have even noticed. This solar halo occurs when the sunlight is reflected by ice crystals high in the atmosphere.
This old Massey-Harris-Ferguson tractor sits in the field with the old trucks shown in the last post. I especially love the moss growing on the dash. I really hope this tractor is still operational, even if it just mows the field.
These trucks are all found in the same area. They make a nice set, but you need a lot of space if you are going to keep old trucks and not have them right next to each other. These were shot on Portra 400 with my Nikon FM3a … one of the last film cameras that Nikon offered … and the only one of the last, best Nikons to have manual focusing.
I’m a big fan of old trucks … even if they aren’t running anymore. They aren’t ‘dead’ only sleeping. I especially like the Studebaker below.
These are more test shots with the Nikon F6 and Tri-X.
These two old buildings are neighbors in Chimacum, Washington. I thought the top one would have made a nice chicken house.
