Goodmorning Frans,

I guess you wish have come true with all this snow in The Netherlands?

I hope you are able to make some great pictures in the snow....and remember:

Looking forward to some pictures of Fordsons in the snow (from all over the world!)

Yes lots of snow but also work to do so no pic of the super in the snow, Maybe some time tomorrow or this weekend.

PS must wake her up first she is sleeping for the winter under some blankets

We have had only about 75mm here in Buckinghamshire UK and most of that melted during today as the sky has been bright and clear.

I am hoping for some more, round about the end of the year, to make our annual New Year's Day road run really memorable! If we do have a good amount, I'll try to post some pics, but my tractors are in retirement also and only get brought out for rallys and runs these days.

All best wishes for Christmas and 2010 to everyone who visits this website - the best for ANYTHING to do with Fordsons. Special thanks to Brian, Oscar, Emiel and everyone else who gives freely of their valuable time and knowledge to help those of us who love those blue beasts, but don't always have what it takes to keep them running as they should.

Here I have a pic from an implement from my neighbour in the snow

My Majors where still in the shed, to much at work plowing the snow one tractor made a shift of 42 hours with 3 drivers because 2 others got stuck in the snow

I took a picture of my Major today but it turned out to be too dark. Maybe the camera settings were wrong? I'm putting it here anyway although there's not much to look at. As you can see she is finally road legal now that the registration plate is finally installed. I was lucky enough to get the same number that it had originally. They hadn't given it to anyone in the meantime when it wasn't in use.

I'd say you need to switch off the flash on the camera. That funny white stuff refects the light back from the flash confusing the camera making it think its over exposed so it compensates by making it dark. An annoyance of digital cameras. Most come with an 'EV' function to manually over/under expose an image.

If you switch the flash of use a tripod or firm surface (unless you have steady hands).

Hope you dont mind but I took the liberty of 'photoshopping' you picture, some details get washed out but the background looks better. I used the free Pixlr software runs through your web browser http://pixlr.com/editor/

regards
Rich

That makes perfect sense. I was wondering why the picture looked perfect in the viewfinder display but not anymore after I had took the picture. That funny white stuff was also falling from the sky at the time so perhaps that affected the flash too.

The photoshopped picture does look a bit better. I don't mind at all with you editing it. It lacked definition from the start so no amount of photoshopping will make it perfect, though.

I'll try again later. She deserves a better picture taken of her
