One of the tractors on my Brother-in-Laws farm is a Massey Ferguson. A real classic. I used among other things, Silver Efex Analog Pro wet plate filters and a little PS in post.

Good Luck

Ståle from the local historical society tell the story of the two men chosen to represent Eiker at the National Assembly in 1814. I got to test the D800 and 24-70’s weatherproofing at it poured down during the speeches.

Ps. Ståle is my friend the Beekeeper.
