Bolens Series 1455 "Husky" lawn tractor, from late 1960s
Bolens Series 1455 "Husky" garden tractor with 14 horsepower Wisconsin engine and hydrostatic transmission (treadle petal), manufactured in the late 1960s. This tractor was purchased new by my dad and his father (my grandfather). Shown here with rototiller attachment; it's still in service to this day. Photographed using Nikon D80 digital camera with AF-S Nikkor 18-200 f/3.5-5.6 G ED DX VR lens; APS-C sensor (23.6mm x 15.8mm), 10.2 megapixels; set to f/5.6 at 1/125-second exposure, ISO 160; available light. Composed for 10 x 8 aspect ratio; raw to jpeg. Processed in Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. June 12, 2008
Bentley 6.5-litre six-speed sports car from 1929
Bentley 6.5-litre six-speed automobile, manufactured in 1929, on display at the Gilmore Car Museum in Michigan. Although clearly not the 4.5-liter with Amherst-Villiers supercharger described for James Bond by Ian Fleming in the novel Casino Royale, I tweaked the coloring of this display car to make its appearance even closer to the battleship-grey convertible coupe described in 1953 Ian Fleming book. Also did more than a little adjusting in post to get lighting and parallax the way I felt they needed to be for the final image output here. Photographed using Leica X2 digital camera with Elmarit 24mm f/2.8 lens; APS-C sensor (23.6mm x 15.8mm), 16.2 megapixels; set to f/8 at 1-second exposure, ISO 400; mixed lighting. Composed for 7 x 5 aspect ratio; raw to jpeg. Processed in Adobe Lightroom 4 and Photoshop Elements 10. Photographic equipment: Norman Camera, Kalamazoo, Michigan September 29, 2013
Graflex Pacemaker 23 Speed Graphic roll-film camera, serial number corresponding to a 1947 manufacture date; fitted with Kodak Ektar 101mm f/4.5 professional lens, circa 1953. I used this quite a bit to photograph events in the 1980s for situations where significantly enlarged prints were anticipated. Photographed using Leica X2 digital camera with Elmarit 24mm f/2.8 lens: APS-C sensor (23.6mm x 15.8mm), 16.2 megapixels; set to f/12 at 1/125-second exposure, ISO 100; studio strobe lighting, triggered by on-camera flash. Composed for 1 x 1 square aspect ratio; raw to jpeg. Processed in Adobe Lightroom 4 and Photoshop Elements 10. Photographic equipment: Norman Camera, Kalamazoo, Michigan January 13, 2013
