What this means is that when you order a print that is not of the images 'native' aspect ratio some cropping may occur to make it fit the size of print ordered.

My "Wheat" Slideshow

December 3 , 2011 07:35 PM in Slideshows
 
This series of photographs was taken in July of 2010 near Crockett, Virginia. My Brother-In-Law, Randy, and some of his friends invited me over to watch them harvest a field of wheat using antique farm equipment and a pair of "Heavy Horse". Hard to believe these guys do this for 'FUN' - it was hard work!  

As several of them took at turn at 'driving' the team, the wheat was cut, bound and then stacked by hand. When all that was done, I got to drive Randy's antique tractor, a 1951 CASE VAC, as the guys piled the sheaves of wheat onto the wagon to take to the barn.

There was plenty of opportunity for some great images. I 'antiqued' some of these to give them a vintage look and a few of them are on display at my gallery as a fine art print. Any of them can be purchased as such.

Hope you enjoy it.
