25mm f/0.37 - 1/125th, iso250 ● 130x200mm ● 389mp ● A7+C135/2 x78 ● Hampstead Heath, London

I came across this dirty little John Deer working buggy when walking to work one morning. I was lucky enough to live on one side of the Heath and work on the other. It was an hour walk either way, but unless I was feeling super lazy I tried to do the walk every day. I always too my camera with me in case I saw scenes like this. The muddy boots were well worth the hassle. This was just before I got the Canon 85mm lens so I had to take nearly 80 shots to get this 25mm equivalent.

One of the early Bokeh Panos that I took on my local London Park. This was here due to a path being added, not the craziness going on from 2015-2016 where they modified the ponds for little reason other than corruption to waste taxpayers money.

I found this cool, clean construction truck on one Göteborg's smallest islands and had to get a panorama of it. I didn't have to try too hard to get this low angle because it was on a raised area of dirt. Interestingly you can't have cars on this island, I wonder how this got here...

Any digger I find out in the open I try to capture it with a Bokeh Pano, but this time it was dimly lit and snowing, how could I possibly resist?

Even when on holiday I keep an eye out for construction equipment to take Bokeh Panos of.

I took enough images of this digger to get the whole thing in the final frame, but ultimately I felt that this crop just worked better. In a way Bokeh Pano's are great for this because they offer tremendous resolution and FOV to crop from without any adverse effects. However I find this a partial failure because I feel like I'm not concentrating on what's really important. This is another reason why I think it's important to take a viewfinder with you - so you can visualise the final frame at the time of shooting.
