   Second question first: It's a 300mm cropped image.

   The newspaper assigned me to shoot the harvest. When I got to the farm, 
my contact asked if I was ready to take the picture. I looked out over the 
field and saw four combines, each working a separate part of the field. I 
said yes. He spoke into a two-way radio and said "there photobgrapher's 
here". Whoooosh! All four combines immediately drove into formation for me 
to take the picture. When I finished, the contact radiod "He's done." 
Whoooosh--all four combines went back to their respective corners of the 
field. Anything for art.

Great shot Bill!

The machinery dates your image.  How long's it been since you've seen a 4 
row combine at work?

Is that taken with a landscape camera, or is it just a really good CROP? 
;-)
