    The old Rusty Truck

    I saw this old pick-up on the side of the road a few weeks ago. Just recently went back and took a few pictures.
    Would like any feedback on the angle of the shot.

    thanks,

    Scott

    Re: The old Rusty Truck

    Really like the subject and angle. The color on the truck is great. This subject has a lot of potential.
    The sky is blown out on this photo and it takes away from the overall color of the photo.
    A very blue sky or maybe a southern storm rolling in would lend more interest.
    A really nice find. Can't wait to see more of this old timer.
    Cheers

    Re: The old Rusty Truck

    I love this angle. Captures the full body, and also the grill which adds a nice component. I might of moved a tad to the right, just to get a little more of the body in there, but it works great as it is.

    Nice shooting,

    Jared

    Re: The old Rusty Truck

    Hey Scott, you have a great subject here and I love the colors. I like your comp. as well and I would love to see more. I would like to see some close up shots of just certain parts of the truck, and not the whole truck. Not to take anything away from this shot, cause I think it's very nice, but I would like to see some more shots of other areas to go along with this. Very nice!

    Re: The old Rusty Truck

    Hi Scott, I'm happy to see that you went back to this old truck. I think you nailed this one. I too would like to see a side view. It looks like there might have been a sign on the door at one time. One more thing, do a re-take on this one with a bluer sky. Awesome job brother.

    Re: The old Rusty Truck

    The colors and angle are quite nice. I keep passing an old overturned rusted out car on I-10 when I drive to San Antonio. One of these days, I'm going to have to do the same thing. Just one question though, were the doors locked? ;)

    Re: The old Rusty Truck

    Scott, while the sky is somewhat blown out, this is a pretty good shot. I Love the angle, as you have captured the entire vehicle in a charming kind of way. The especially love the color. This was a pretty lucky find. You should print this and frame it.

    Re: The old Rusty Truck

    If you go back, I'd like to see that truck against a sky enhanced with a polarising filter.
    It's got a lot of potential there, and I think a nice sky would make it better.
