One More Road Trip? Please?

Thank you for your visits and comments to my hay bales shot! Much appreciated!
In another area on the island, on someone's private land, this person has what amounts to a graveyard for old cars, boats, water tanks, etc. So I engaged in a little trespassing with my wide angle lens yesterday. I loved the look of this psychedelic truck that looked like it was trying to get back on the road. A combination of three images using Photomatix and then final processing with Lightroom, with thanks to some suggestions from friendly critics (thanks Bruce, Jane, Ross, Eric).

Bet there's some good stories behind that. Great find and processing!

[Maggiemae]

Looks like you are at the end of the road here! No more road for this poor vehicle but he somehow doesn't look sad!

[Kim]

This could be Pixar's next star! And according to your title, he's ready.

[Rosan]

Great find and processing!

Handled superbly - great job.

Nice processing. I like the different shades of blue in the sky which match the blues in the truck.

[John Dupre Jr]

I really love your photographic style.

[PhotoCrazy]

[Anja]

Cool shot and processing!

[Denise Wood]

Wonderful capture and title :) Thank you so much for the caring words you left on the sad loss of my friend Sam. I truly appreciate the care you have shown. Thanks xx

[Eric di Bosco]

Great HDR. And great work on it: the extra space on the right really makes a big difference, as does the burning of the road (or whatever you have done there!) The left portion of the sky looks strangley hot, though, compared to the rest of the sky. Could have been caused by the 365-upload - I have had some strange things creeping in during upload in the past as well.

[ShazzyM]

Great find, wonderfully captured

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful find. Great shot and super processing.

[Janiskay]

Wonderful find, capture and processing. It has my curiosity piqued. Why was it abandoned. The tires look good from what I can see. Even if you had to abandon for mechanical reasons why not take the tires. You could sell them? Do love the look of this poor truck.abandonded after a lifetime of hard work! Fav

[Danny G.]

That truck has seen better days - but haven't we all - lol. Great textures, fav.

[Lindy]

Super

[Nick]

Nice shot and processing.

[Julia]

Fabulous rusty subject, textures, and processing

[Bob Zwolinsky]

A very appropriate amount of HDR to bring out the best in the truck. Keep trespassing in what seems to be a photographic gold mine.

[Beth]

Fantastic shot, processing and subject

[Pam Knowler]

Wow what a wonderful find Taffy!! Great processing making the truck look fab with all that detail and colour!!

[Francoise]

This is like an illustration from a book.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot.

[Leon Buijs]

Great image, love the leading line provided by the track and the old feel of the pick-up

[Suse♡]

What a find

[Andy]

Looks like it must have been a great place explore. Cool shot!

[Yeshanghai]

Great find and amazing capture

[Nicole]

fabulous comp and great processisng!

[Molly]

A colourful truck, making for a good composition.

[Sally Ings]

Such a cool find. It looks like it's ready to take off down the road on a new adventure.

[Christina Helliwell]

Great shot, and a wonderful find. Lots of HDR opportunities. Old, rusted vehicles sem to lend themselves to that sort of treatment.

[Sarah Munnings]

Dirving in America ,seeing cars dying where the owner last parked them seems to be very common, quite fascinating as it doesn't really happen lots around where I live.

[Rachel Withey]

Great find, and great processing as ever

[Taffy]

@bob65 I'm definitely going back -- I figure a different lens each trip will give me a range of photos to work from over the next several months, even after I'm back in Chicago. Thanks!

[Rosie Kerr]

This is a fun find... nicely shot, too. The delicate HDR gives some really nice tones. Very nice, how the road curves along to the left. Quite rural, your island!

[Shailesh]

beautiful...

[Irene]

That has been one fun vehicle. Like the capture

[bkb in the city]

Great HDR shot and I love your find! Well spotted.

I have such an affinity for these old vehicles. They make for wonderful photo subjects.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I would love to photograph that! Great subject, great shot!

[pam]

wonderful road shot taffy

[Richard Hickey]

Congratulations on making the Trending Page and the PP. Well deserved.

[Taffy]

@agedrunner Thanks for letting me know.

[Junko Y]

That dirt road does look inviting, and that truck does show signs of a past life for sure!

[Gena Pegg]

What a great find....super processing. Actually quite a work of art!!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Great processing xx

[Osia Strasner]

Wonderful processing.....and, I believe in trespassing in the name of photography (or, architecture for that matter, so yes, I am an avowed trespasser!) ...at least he keeps his junk on his property and behind all those tall trees!
