Yesterday it was Queen's Day in The Netherlands and this also meant the annual tractor pulling event would come to the town where I live. Since I had to entertain my kids, all I could take was my SLR and a Summicron-R 50. Oh well, I have had worse than that Smile Pity the kids would not wait for the 4.5 ton super sports class.

The weather was really, really nice with lots of sun and no clouds as far as the eye reached.

Actually, it was a bit too bright! Even after screwing down ISO to the camera's minimum of 100, I was still on f/8 1/200s... I couldn't squeeze any further cos the viewfinder was dim already. All shots were done @ISO 100, f/8 and a shutter speed of around 1/200 - 1/400s.

That lens pops all over the place! Great panning for the first one (always difficult in those sort of sunny conditions) and the last one is very funny!
