To Close For Most

At 11mm this would be "To Close For Most", but when you need the shot you need the shot.
This was very well planned on my part and Mr. Gadds part so we would not have any accidents.
But I can tell you it was very close and extremely dusty, thanks to my rain cover the camera had no dust on it at all.....
You become very aware of all the noises going on, and it is very eery, one wrong move and your toast.

Nikon D300 ,Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX 11-16mm f/2.8

other sizes: small medium original auto

"Combine" a wide angle, Mike and some machinery = super shot!

Excellent work! It is close, and a great subject for wide-angle. The sky is a real bonus too. Well done.

Very cool wide menacing shot with this excellent perspective. "V"
If you'd used the fisheye, you might have been toast. ;-)

Sorry, I had to add this...

and it is very eery, one wrong move and your toast.
How about one move and you're "Shredded Wheat"?

What a great use of this lens. You turn the country life into something frightening.

Better check and make sure you have all your "parts" if you know what I mean - LOL :-) Great image - can't wait to see it on the next calendar.

Nice up close and involved in the action shot, Mike. I feel dirty now, I need to wash the grit off of my screen..
