Alien Arms
The wonderful patterns and colors of a piece of farm machinery used to rake hay outside of Juda, Wisconsin.
Having grown up on the farm, I was familiar with this piece of machinery. Its wonderful lines and geometry were always fun to look at.

Wow! This is really nice! I love the oranges and yellows with the blue sky backdrop. And the lines and shadows... just superb!

Gorgeous image! Looks like a work of art, a beautiful sculpture rather than a piece of farm machinery.

I can't believe it, I tried the same thing, in the same place and just never got the look I wanted...and it looked a lot like this...and this is great. I guess I don't know a good thing when I take it.

Wow. Amazing. This looks very surreal. Great processing as well.

I love the design on this machinery! In my earlier shots www.flickr.com/photos/barvault/113123988/, I called it a cultivator and found out afterward what it really was....
Leviathor (74 months ago | reply)
This is indeed farm machinery. I think this is the piece of equipment that rakes to-be-bailed produce into lines for the bailer.

this is so cool! great photo! ;-)
Kev Mc (74 months ago | reply)
Perfect, there is actually a strange optical illusion thing going on here as well. Try moving the page up and down using the scroll bar, it makes it look like the wheel is turning. Anyway great shot!

Fabulous.
Please start posting the large sizes of your photos again. They make great desktops (for personal use of course!)

I wish I could. I've had too many stolen.
Madison Guy (74 months ago | reply)
Wow. This is just a stunning image! Great composition, colors. And so clean -- much cleaner than farm equipment I've been around. Did you do a lot of post production, or was it just very new?
Todd Klassy (74 months ago | reply)
Very little post-production. It was a very new piece of machinery.
Madison Guy (74 months ago | reply)
Even new, I have the feeling 999 out of a 1000 people would have walked right by and never come back with an image like this. Beautiful job, Todd. I feel as if I could just stare at it for hours ...
ue06 (74 months ago | reply)
that is just ingenious, and I love agricultural equipment and farm-related stuff! Incredible work! :-)
Jose Rodrigues (74 months ago | reply)
Absolutely stunning.
You have "educated" me to look at things differently, searching patterns or images within things or objects.
I really love your work.
