Description
1927 Ford - a commission pieceI posted a couple of pictures of this truck over the winter, but the owner did not like the snow, so I went back during a class field trip and took this picture. Taken late in the day, with the sun low and in the north west creates quite a striking effect. The only thing I had to be careful about was not to include my shadow.

Cool shot!! looks like the windshield is frosty inside like the dead of winter!

thanks dave... do you have any idea what would cause that?

Looks like maybe the safety glass layers have become separated

Nice Shot!
Cool truck! I wonder if it's too far gone...

thanks. I don't think so. The owner runs a body shop and has plans for it.

Hopefully we'll get to see it when it's restored!

yuo... it is in a pretty wet area.

It is interesting to see one of your trucks with green

It was a very common colour back in the 30's and 40's but mostly is has rusted off.

you know it is funny you mention that. Out here, we seem to have brown and white more than green. Right now it is green, but in two to three months the fields will be yellow again. It is kind of funny really because summer is not that green for us, the trees are green of course, but compared to the total area, mostly it is fields that one sees.

I totally understand - in southern California the green season is only when it is raining and that can be only from November to March...in Northern CA where I am now we've got a slightly longer green, maybe from October to June but as soon as the rains stop things begin to dry... we don't have a "white" season, lol.

Nicely caught, wayne. Like the owner, I like the revisit more

snow is not a favourite of mine either, but now (on this shot) we had to deal with wood ticks and I think I am less pleased about lime disease than I am about snow.

Yeah...I'd take a few inches of snow over a 20 year wasting disease too

What a beautiful shot. It looks positively lost in time and overgrown by nature~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the shot does give that impression. In reality the truck is surrounded by perhaps 60 other cars of various vintages and conditions. Finding an angle that eliminated some of them in the background and sides was a challenge.

I wouldn't mind seeing some of the other cars, too~ I love old fashioned stuff. xDD Omg. Especially if some of them were really old automobiles but that would be like digging up treasure. XD

interesting how the windshield still seems to have frost
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, I wonder if anyone out there know how it happens.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
perhaps the residue of minerals in the condensation that forms and dries on the windows

is that just a guess David? or do you thing it is likely? I have no clue here and I do not have a chemistry or technical background so I am totally at a loss.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's just a guess but it's feasible ..and it's the only thing I can think of
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lets go with it for now, maybe someone knows the process though and will enlighten us both if it happens to be different.

Yes it looks like its a tired warrior. I like it better with the green around it as well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think I do too, the saturation also seems a bit better which is a result of the direction and quality of the light.

Can I get a deal on that truck? Just kidding. Great shot!

It is a pretty sweet truck. I do know the owner but I thnk he is planning a rebuild himself

The green of the truck is much different from winter to summer...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There are many possible variables. The first is the Colour temperature of the light. Winter light is colder and summer light tends to be warmer. There is also time of day. This shot was taken when the sun was quite low. So that would tend to warm it. Then of course thre is the polarization effect. How the filter was tuned could make a difference. Finally is the processing. There was no attempt made to match the truck colours at all. Any or all of these could account for what you are observing

Thanks for the reply. I am a rookie and have much to learn. I know the processing can make 2 photos from 1. I have Photoshop but choose to use Aperture 3.2.3. I learn something new each time I use it. If you would see my gallery you would see the fun I have in the last week at LUCKY'S WRECKING YARD.

Hi Michael,
I had a look at your gallery, it seems that there are some really good opportunities in that yard.
Processing can really be an art unto itself and it depends totally on what the photographer is looking for. I tend to keep to realistic colours and saturation levels, but there are a lot of people who like HRD effects and out of gamut colours. (By that I mean colours that are not close to the reality of the shot).
For processing I use Photoshop CS5 but I teach Photoshop Elements at the local college. The reason we do that is simply cost, the CS versions of the program are 8x's more expensive than the Elements versions. Elements is scaled down, but it still does an equitable job and it is within the reach of most students.
There are a lot of other programs out there that are very good, aperture being one of them, though I have not ever used it. GIMP is available free on line and i have taught that program as well. A friend of mine uses Lightroom and it seems to approximate what Elements or Photoshop CS will do, so it too seems like a good choice.
In my experience, these programs have been around long enough that they all seem to do a pretty good job, one might do it a bit differently from the other, but overall, you cannot tell what someone is using by looking at an image.
