Thanks.
At the time I took this, I just wanted to visualize all the carriages as I saw it. Amish do not like to get their pictures and of all the times I take Amish people, I am at a distance with my Pro1. I try not to stick a camera in their face and there are times in a carriage, the men will shield their faces. (Can you imagine no family photos in their houses as they don't believe it in or cameras).
I think if I had a big dslr, I would surely get stampled on. :)
(I often photographed Amish farmers without a fuss but since I am at a distance and not so close I am okay.)

Yeah I believe this is in topic. After all isnt this an older version of one of the examples? I really like this picture. It has a very nice composition. I would try a B/W conversion or "old style" PP to see how it turns out. ~Chris

Brilliant Sue Anne. Heavy weight into the lower left and all those repeated wheels providing a compelling thrust into the frame. Isn't it exciting to see how one smallish point of interest can be made to balance all the rest? The driver and cart do it so well. Good use of 4 edges and 2 corners plus overall comp plus 4 = (wow) a 10. -tv

Yes, this is a great shot and really not intrusive. Is that cart coming after you because you're carrying a camera, Sue Anne? I was actually chased by one years ago when I was attempting to photograph a farmer with his team in the fields. I ran for a tree as he thundered by me screaming "I don't want no motion pictures!!!!" The Amish are intriguing but I'm afraid it's hard to grab a pic these days if one respects their right to privacy. shu

What an interesting shot, Sue Anne. I just love the lines of all those wagons parked there. I'm not sure if it meets Tommy's requirements, but it's really a nice photo.
