I was out driving around for a couple hours today stopping at random places to snap a photo or two. Here are my favorites from my adventure... hope you enjoy them! Any feedback is more than appreciated :)

i like that truck... looks like a late 50s chevrolet?

great tones and what certainly looks like perfect contrast. too many B/Ws here look flat. did you shoot it in B/W or convert it?


-im just trying. sometimes i succeed

Thank you!

I love the truck, too! It's just beat up enough to be interesting. Yes, I was thinking the same. It was abandoned out in the woods so I didn't get a chance to ask anyone what year but it definitely is a Chevy :) and it was shot in color and converted. If you would like to see the color version I can post that one, too.

Post it!
Old vehicles are always interesting.
you just need to find the correct perspective.
Look for interesting rust, or still perfect chrome, license plate, registration sticker, or look inside for debris left from the 70's

Love the snow berries ... wonderful composition. Very much like the truck in both color and bw. The first one is a zero ;)

deep greens and blues are the colors I choose ...

I like the B&W truck shot. I believe a bit more contrast and about +1/3 EC would help it some. Can you go back and try a wider lens, and a narrower aperture? I think a more distorted perspective, with enough DOF to get both headlights in focus would be interesting. It is kind of 'plain' like it is, but that goes well with the 'abandoned' feeling.

I was thinking the top lights need to be in the frame too...I like those red lights...lol
I like to see the bottom of the front bumper as well. Maybe even include that trim piece on the side of the truck.

the berries are cool...but the brokha is a bit weird...(I think I spelled brokha wrong?)

the branches...I think the end of the branches should be included in something like this....not a shot of the middle of the branch.


I love the colors on that truck though.

I love the branches, y'all are nuts ;) and there was no way to get the sky in the shot if I had used the ends of the branches, it was a willow tree and most were near the ground aside from the ones way up high.

I could go back to the truck, yes... it is on someone's property and I got an odd feeling as if I were being watched so I only took that one shot and got outta there lol so for it being the only one taken, I don't think it's all that bad lol.
