The item pictured is one of the pieces of historic farm equipment at the museum - I believe it was used to harvest hay.
I've almost no experience with fisheye lenses, so Bob's generous loan was definitely appreciated, because it gave me a chance to have some fun seeing what I might be able to do with it. :smile:

Definitely a good subject choice for such a lens and extreme perspective!
 
I think you are right Matt. My farm neighbor had one just about like it when I was a kid. It was pulled by his tractor(or maybe a horse team) and a farm wagon was pulled behind that. It would pickup loose mowed hay or straw off the field, elevate it and drop it onto the wagon.
 
Very impressive Matt, such a strong perspective and the sharpness and tonality are excellent. It truly is a wonderful thing to be out-and-about with the group enjoying film photography 🙂
 
Thanks all.
And thanks again Bob for the loan.
