Wheel Line Motor Section

Wheel Line Motor Section.  Gannett, Idaho

Here's an image taken near Gannett, Idaho.  It's the motor section of a wheel line used for agriculture.  This piece has been sitting solo since mid-October.  The primary crops near Gannett and Picabo are barley and alfalfa.  Certainly a symbol of anachronistic methods.  Water and it's use has always been a fascinating issue for me.  I will be posting all types of images related to water on this site.

I used the tilt function on the Nikon 24 pc-e lens to limit the depth of field on the two sides while maximizing the DOF in the middle part of the foreground all the way to infinity.  The 24 pc-e lens is probably my favorite lens despite the manual focus.

I used Nik's Silver Effex Pro 2 to convert the RAW image to black and white.  A favorite tool of mine within Silver Effex is the color filter.  In the image above I selected blue to edit the sky and slightly adjusted the hue and hue strength sliders to darken the blues, ie the sky.
