The Euclid

I posted these a while ago in the Urban forum, but really they should have gone here.

Without further ado, I give you The Euclid...

These were all shot with my 40D and Tamron 10-24 manual exposure, no fill flash.

Nice Chas! The B&W at the last is really good.

I was going to say that something built this rugged and simple ought to be "bullet proof" but then I noticed the hole in the windshield... Guess It Isn't! :shock:

Nice find/great series. Really like the B&W photo.

[TheBigDog]

nice shots, that was a big bullet!

Sorry Frank... :(

Thanks for the kind words all! The B&W conversion is a infared effect. The sky goes dark and any kind of plant usually goes much lighter. Green leaves on trees are the best. I kind of miss shooting and proccessing infared film, but digital is less stinky!

That thing was/is a rugged and huge beast of a machine. The exit wound of that bullet was even nastier, just not as photogenic. Too bad things like this get forgotten and die. But that's life I guess...

I wouldn't be surprised if you could actually get this running without a ton of effort. Abandoned stuff like this does give us something to shoot....(with a camera) not real fond of target practice on old iron....never know where the bullet might decide to travel.

That's cool Just for reference Euclid Truck was an old line Cleveland Ohio Co Now gone away They built giant dump trucks for mines. This looks like one of their smaller models.

Yeah, construction sites used to have Eucs too, some with trailers, some not.

Nice series.
