MN Scott has a posting about six down from this - depending upon how fast I type and how long the typist goes on. As a 4-H volunteer photography leader/county fair judge, I am constantly telling photographers to "fill your viewfinder with your subject" ..."get close and eliminate unnecessary background that doesn"t add to the photo". Scott did a great job of holding the camera steady-no blurry/fuzzy pictures. Scott also held his camera level-look at the picture of corn rising up the elevator into the wagon taken from rear of tractor. In the 4-H program we emphasize that the camera is a tool. Whatever tool you have, know how to use it. A 35mm, I have five - all manual and two digital, a point-and-shoot and an SLR (single lens reflex allowing me to look through the viewfinder). I can take great pictures with any of these knowing the "tool" i.e. camera and knowing the limitations of the "tool". I can"t take a good picture standing atop the 110 meter Snowflake Ski Jumping scaffold with my point and shoot. But, I can"t take a good picture with my 35mm and telephoto lens on a windy day up there either - "limitations of camera/weather conditions that would cause blurry/fuzzy pictures. Who wants to look at a poor image on out television sets? Magazines-girlie to Red Power or Wisconsin Trails, they all strive for clear, sharp images, with their images "filling the viewfinder". Some of the photo ads and pictures in the various galleries are really bad. Not something we say to 4-H members. We try to say something positive to encourage them. I always say, "keep shooting, that is the way to get better results, and enjoy taking pictures". Look at some of the poor examples of photos-hey folks, we want to show off our tractors/implements, why not make the effort to put them in their best light? I can talk to you folks this way because we are adults-myself not included some days. Ok, lesson/preaching is over, I have nuked my coffee twice. Keep shooting and enjoy!

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Profile: Allis-Chalmers Model G - by Staff. The first Allis-Chalmers Model G was produced in 1948 in Gasden, Alabama, and was designed for vegetable gardeners, small farms and landscape businesses.
