Photographer Captures the Character of Old Farm Tractors

Fine art photographer hasn't found an old vintage farm tractor that won't make him stop and photograph. Fielding travels throughout the rural New England areas of Vermont and New Hampshire seeking out old tractors to photographs.

These old workhorses have seen decades of use and many are still in use on family farms throughout the region plowing fields, planting seeds and mowing meadows.

Some end their lives stuck in the back forty. Other are restored to museum standards and paraded down the town's main street each Fourth of July.

Antique tractor clubs help keep the old tractors running and local farm stands use them as roadside attractions.

All in all, Fielding has photographed hundreds of old tractors around the area and can be seen on his...

The Straight Photograph – artless, useless or profoundly compelling?


Fine art photographer Edward Fielding’s series of photographs of the “Flower Cottages” on Cape Cod are an example of straight photography.


Straight on, center composed, documentary style photographs which when viewed individually seem meaningless but when grouped or arranged, take on more meaning.

When viewed as a sequence in the form of a book or gallery show, the viewer begins to see the subtle differences between the seemingly identical vintage summer rental cottages.

The Flower Cottages series by Edward Fielding consists of twenty-two nearly identical cottages in all. Seen side by side the viewer is compelled to spot differences in window treatments, condition of the vinyl siding, changes in the...

NELSON, NV - “Last Chance Gas” https://edward-fielding.pixels.com/featured/last-chance-gas-vintage-car-abandoned-gas-station-edward-fielding.html is a fine art photograph of an old abandoned gas station in old mining ghost town at the edge of the Nelson, Nevada. This photograph combines seven images taken under the hot Nevada sun in 115 degree weather.

Nelson, NV is practically a dead town itself with a population of less then 40 hardy souls trying hard to not dry up and blow away under the harsh conditions of the desert climate.

One doesn’t seek out a life in Nelson for ease of living, perhaps more for cheap accommodations or the hiding from something.

The Techatticup Mine was once a hotbed of lawlessness, murder, treachery, and claim-jumping. In the mid-1800s the hills in this area swarmed with miners, civil-war deserters and wanted men digging into the earth following vines of gold and silver. No law man would dare enter this den of murder and...

A killer combination – a beautiful beach and a classic vintage car. What a rare sight indeed.

Fielding who offers these stunning photographs as fine art prints that can be purchases as museum-quality framed artwork, canvas prints, metal, wood, acrylic prints or even as greeting cards.

SEARCHLIGHT, NEVADA - On a dark desert highway...in this new collection of fine art photographs by artist Edward M. Fielding, Fielding captures the essence of the American Southwest. A hostile environment that never the less became the idea of freedom and opportunity to seekers of religious freedom and wealthy in the form gold, silver and tin.

For others, it was a new beginning after the Civil War tore the country apart. Fine art photographer Edward M. Fielding explores what was left behind by these early settlers. There homes, their vehicles, their mines - relics of the past. A place of boom and bust of fortune for some but misfortune for most. A dream that lasted only a few years that led only to heartbreak.

The collection features photographs from ghost towns across the Southwest including Nevada, Arizona and Utah.

SEARCHLIGHT, NEVADA - Fine art photographer Edward M. Fielding (edwardfielding.com) trekked into the Nevada desert under the blazing hot sun to photograph in old abandoned school buses and vintage vehicle baking under 115 degree heat. Hot enough to fry an egg on the oxidating metal hoods of these old cars, Fielding shot with a tripod, tilt-shift lens and a black Canon 6D camera body that became too hot to touch with bare hands. "I never drank as much Gatorade as I did that day in the desert. They say it is a dry heat, but 115 degrees is no joke no matter how dry it is".

Grantham, NH - Black and white photography is a study of zen, ying and yang, balancing the dark shadows with the bright highlights. Creating an interplay of tones for light to dark.

Black and white photography strips away the distracting color and shows the eye a new way of seeing. A world in which only black, white and 265 distinct shades of gray in between can be detected by the human eye.

This is all you get to render a compelling image that stops the wandering eye. Dark and light, creating drama, intrigue, mystery and the exploration of wonderful texture. The skin on a pear. The timeworn scratches on an antique wooden bowl. The deep grain of an old wooden plank.

Stripped of color new information comes to the surface to take its place. Composition becomes paramount. The arrangement of the objects within the scene and within the frame becomes more important than color theory.

Lighting is crucial to the overall effectiveness of the final image....

BARNSTABLE, MA - Fine art photographer Edward M. Fielding's recent explorations of the towns, villages, backroads and dunes of Cape Cod have discovered some interesting and unexpected things. Fielding's Cape Cod Portfolio (https://edward-fielding.pixels.com/art/cape+cod) brings to light a collection of images typically unseen by the tourist who flock to the beaches of Cape Cod.

Abandoned and discarded, old passenger train cars, shacks of driftwood hidden in the dunes, old mansions and country clubs left to rot, rows of indentical cottages from the 1920s bravely hanging on to the last bits of erroded shoreline.

This series of photographs of Cape Cod go beyond the postcard and tourist brochure images and dip into the reality of man's effect on the natural beauty of the Cape.
