britainsnut Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Was just wondering of those that go out looking for machinery to photograph how many miles do you cover on average. Lately ive been out about every other day doing about 50-60 miles while the weather allows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/32 farmer Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 well iv been out and about today and drove to usk (over 500 miles)and back and didnt see 1 tractor or combine on the move until i arrived home to find a ford7810 out side my house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 in my "hot" times and when time and weather allows I cover up to 50 miles from home, but this is an exception. Normally there is enough to see in a circle of 20 miles from home ... On the other hand I take every opportunity on longer tours, often avoiding highways and driving though the country side - results can be seen in my next topic to be created right now in this forum ...

farmernick06 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Normally between 1-10, i simply don't have a car, sometimes i use the bike but don't normally cover that far a distance, i normally see things over my fence to photograph then go take a picture rather than go out looking for it Or unless im walking the dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I travelled over 100 miles on a round trip around my county of Angus yesterday, depends on time and lighting conditions but I'm willing to travel since I enjoy my driving........ ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshman Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Cant go far, 1-10 as i can only bike, but usally there is somthing to see :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 My biggest trip was 72 miles, though I didn't have a camera that day, and by the end I didn't feel as though I had a backside either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ertlerik Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Try to stay in a 10 mile radius, so it might happen that i drive 50 or 60 miles in that 10 mile radius when there is a lot off farming action going on covering all the roads in the area. Have my camera in the car most off the time, so some times i am lucky and i can make a few pick's on my way back from work. Erik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnP Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I don't have the time to go chasing things (especially being away most of the week, I have to catch up at home on the weekends), but try and get things while en route. There's plenty of action just locally - IF I'm lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 11-30 for me usually on my pushbike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 A bicycle is useful as I have just driven past the most cracking view of a Lexion unloading but couldn't stop because of the traffic ! Then again, I did cover 15miles in an hour and had time to wait for combines to return down the field to collect a few more shots for the album....

Light Land Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Like Ben said,petrol is too much these days to be out looking for stuff to take pictures of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
