The Tractor Twitcher Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Thanks for the kind words Stan, great to hear. Road runs are never the easiest of events to capture well, and you've done a great job here. it's very much all about location, location, and location, and having a very steady hand. From past experience. Deciding long before the tractors or vehicles have reached you what angle you're going to take them from. The moment you start to pan the camera to try and keep up with a faster moving vehicle is when it becomes much harder to achieve a clear and crisp shot. However this can have it's advantages too. Something i'm still practicing with myself, is slowing the shutter speed of the camera right down and taking photos as i'm panning across the subject matter. The wheels of the tractors look like they're turning at a million miles an hour whilst the rest of the tractor is still in focus. I'm still a long way off getting anywhere close to mastering it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 So the Welsh boys and girls are back over for the bi-annual Irish tractor run this weekend. They have a similiar run in Wales in the odd numbered years. Many of the tractors that were on the run in 2016 were out again today, but there are also some new ones. I'm going to order the 2018 pics in a different way. First up we have some tractors by registration. IC, Carlow. ID. Cavan IE. Clare IF.
