A steam engine requires constant attention - Somerset, Virginia

The tractor above is powering a machine just outside the picture to the right by way of a flat belt and pulley.

The gasoline powered tractor in the background represents the next development in farm technology after the steam engine. In just a few short years, the internal combustion engine replaced steam on the farm.


All the black and white photographs from the show in Somerset were taken with the Pentax MX with the Pentax SMC M 35mm f2.0 lens on Fuji Acros 100. The color photos were all taken with the Pentax K10D and the Pentax FA 35mm f2.0 lens.

    Very interesting shots! Nice to see a 35mm lens on film. I also use a K10D almost exclusively with the FA35. Still have to mount it on the film camera to get the wider field of view.

    Thanks Diego. The 35mm is seldom off the film camera and I think I am most comfortable with this combination. For the K10D I wouldn't mind having something a little wider, but the 35mm stays on the K10D 90% of the time.
