• Olympus OM-4
• 200mm f/4 Zuiko MC

• Kodak Elitechrome 100
• Hobson's Bluffdale, near Eldred, Illinois, May 2000
• Found their tractor parked here early in the morning, perfectly framed by the fence posts and trees, as if it had been staged for a photograph, or patiently waiting for its farmer!  Used a longer telephoto to flatten the depth of the background.  Compare the size of the distant bluffs in this photograph with the same bluffs in the third photograph following this one which was made using a 135mm lens.
