They're not perfect, but I'm reasonably happy with 'em.

Thanks for looking.

Jon

Very nice, Jon. Did you use a polarizing filter on #3?

Re: A few photos I shot recently

Thanks, guys.

Yep, used a circular polarizer on each of these shots.

Regarding the barn & tractor shots, this was my third 45-minute drive to that site. Wasn't happy with the sky in my first two trips. I'd still like to catch it with a dark, dramatic sky.

Thanks, Eric.

Here's another view of the tractor (I call it, "Are You Eyeballin' Me, Boy??").

Nice shots Jon! Love the "You Eyeballin' Me Boy?!" shot.

If I can interject with a noob-ish question...

Circular polarizer vs linear... I read the difference somewhere, but don't recall the difference?

Cool shot, Jon. The tractor really appears to have a personality.

Tony, here is a link that explains the difference between circular and linear polarizing filters.

Thanks, Tony. And good link, Scott.

Basically, the filters accomplish the same thing, but modern DLSRs will not focus nor expose correctly through a linear filter. It has to do with the use of TTL (through the lens) metering.

Scott - I see you're in Michigan; each of these photos may have been taken in your 'hood.

They were shot in the Gregory / Pinckney area (just southwest of Brighton).

Thanks, Jon. I am not familiar with Gregory, but I play golf at a couple of courses in Pinckney.

Love the shots. My daddy grew up in Pinckney. The family farm may be one of those golf courses you play on!
