Challenge: Progress (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S5000 Z
Location: Mokopane, South Africa
Date: Jul 11, 2006
Aperture: 2.8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/4
Galleries: Transportation, Science and Technology
Date Uploaded: Jul 11, 2006

Though it might look massive, the wheel belongs to a Polaris 4-wheeler and the small wheel at the back to a trailer. Taken in farmshed with the available daylight entering through the open barn-doors directly into the lens. Needed wide aperture and slow speed due to very poor lighting conditions - I was lying on my side, flat on the ground and had to keep the camera very still...Slightly cropped - no further editing.

might have worked in perspective also, nice sharp.

Hmmm...it would be a better sell if you would have found a older car tire for the distant background. Or maybe even a wagon wheel.

LOL! Love it! There's enough light in the triangle to draw the eye almost immediately. Very good interpretation of the challenge!

You could make a lot of progress with a wheel that serious. I'm thinking I'd like to see the shot recomposed a little more to the top left, although then you'd have a distracting half a wheel in the gap. Hmm tricky.

I like this even though it doesn't really say "progress".

I think this image would have benefited from a better crop around the wheel. I would have loved to see the wheel as a pice of art, full framed and perhaps approached from a more exciting angle.
