Description
Haven't posted any of the tons of heavy equipment pics vegetating in my files lately, so here's a mini guy of sorts.
Captured 3/21/15 @ 8:21 am, at the rear of our local Courts Building.
The right rear tire needs replacing, and, I always think of jocko500 when I shoot this stuff.
Ciao.

That looks like one useful piece of equipment; super shots of this little beast, Harry!
Harry, these are some very cool captures. I remember my dad always dreamed of having one of these to play around with.
Fantastic engin and very great shots !!!
A classical small tractor;
wonderful engine for gardens ? splendid series !!!
Long gone the days of sweaty man with shovel huh? lol Neat beast Harry. Rob
Shooting these must make shooting cars look easy. I could be wrong, but if I had to shoot this thing---esp with the stuff around it---I'd have a hard time. But your shots are wholly relaxed. You're totally at home with this beast. The top shot is angled naturally against the covered fence---the angles of the fence top and bottom flare out in much the same way as the top and bottom of the Loader. (Just basic good composition, which, btw, one expects in your gallery.) And you got a nice division of wall and trees on top, dividing nicely with the lines of the Loaders 'cab'. (Not sure what you call the driving section, so I'll say "cab".) The middle shot can stand by itself: Not just for its composition, but for the effect of those trees in the background, giving the Loader a soft feathery backing, in contrast to all that sand. And of course the front looks like a big beast with its jaw open, looking for a treat. (Whaddyou feed these things? Boulders? Small dinosaurs?) I like the perspective-tilt of the houses too: I really like that shot. And the bottom one finishes out the montage in the way you do with your car montages as well: Giving us both sides. Fascinating line play with the "318D" arm running into the wheel of a beast in back of it; with the crane on that beast hovering over the Loader; and in the way you line the left top of the Loader with the fence. Lots of linear language there, the kind you get in your padlock shots too. For me, it would be a tough subject, but it feels totally at ease in your hands. Dave said his dad always dreamed of having one of these "to play around with": Ha! I can tell you, my father---if you gave him one of these?---would head for the hills. He loved gadgets, but if he got behind the wheel of one of these, he'd probably plow it into a house. It's cute though---a compact little thing, for its weight and heft. Fine shots, Harry, with an object that many wouldn't even try photographing. These things just don't deter you, for which you deserve real praise...
