 I shot this today on the way home from work. I've often stopped to photograph crop dusters, but never has one buzzed me. This is not a crop. He was about 150 ft away when I took this shot. I actually got sprayed with the rice seed solution they spray onto the rice ponds. I was thrilled! You can actually see the pilot's face!

Great catch!! Love the overlay on the image - really works here. Gives it a postcard quality.

OMG ... THAT WAS CLOSE .. he may not have like to have his photograph taken !!.. lucky he wasnt dropping something more unfriendly, like chemicals or something ..
GREAT SHOT .. !!
i really like the original because i can see the rice seed coming out and more of the blur of the propellers .. but both images are excellent ..
you could maybe find out when they're going to be dusting so you can organise to be there ready with your camera .. :)

I love how you cropped the wings off a bit. The processing makes me think of the tissue paper art pictures. Cool.
