Tonka Truck

**Tools of the Trade**

They are currently putting in the infrastructure (roads and utilities) for a new housing area which requires some Heavy Duty equipment! I found this along the backroad yesterday morning while driving to the lake near our home. Adjustments with PSE9 and Topaz Adjust.

Sigma 10-20 at 14mm. ISO 250, Early-Morning, 1/100 @ f8.0, EC 0 (CA)

  Great eye and great capture of this huge truck, Jeff! Beautiful presentation - love the colors! We have tons of similar heavy duty construction going on all around our area and every time I drive by I am tempted to stop and shoot...but I am always going somewhere! Maybe now I'll slow down!
