Just a little past its prime

Beater, a photo by jim.colleran on Flickr.
An old beater parked outside the barn - rusted, broken but still full of character.

Looking for those worn-out charmers at Carmi's Thematic Photographic.

  1. This looks like half-painting/half-photo. I'm confused.

    1. I guess it really is half and half. This is an HDR photo - three shots, different exposure levels, combined with Photomatix software. Great for balancing different exposures in a scene, and usually I like it a little more lifelike. But the rust and dents in this truck really stood out this way.

  2. The colors are awesome, did you enhance them or was that natural? Great picture.

  4. Clever camera work - makes the old truck look like an art installation!

  5. Fine piece of work. The front side resting on bricks, grass beginning to cover the tyres.
