A celebration of times past.
The local community presents Old Time Farm Day annually and it’s fun for all ages. The primary goal is to show how life on the farm was in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
This was a fine opportunity to give the 20-200mm Sigma Contemporary lens a field test, mounted on the Leica SL2-S. The overcast day dictated a touch on the contrast slider in LRc. Otherwise these snaps are pretty much straight out of camera. Most of the images were snapped at full aperture with focal lengths across the very broad range available. The lens does not disappoint.
