Description If Old Red had an expression ... it was one of frustration..


..shot in the back 40 of Belluz Farm 15 miles from Thunder Bay as the sun was getting low in the sky. 3 shots bracketed at +1EV.

If you'd like, please have a gander at my mini-gallery devoted to Country Life

Wow!! I bet if this old clunker could talk, there would be some amazing stories to tell.

I really like the contrast of the old metal against the snow. The sky that seems to be full and busy .. .really makes a nice contrast again the snow too.

I like this very much. It's an awesome capture.

This is awesome. It's so much like my son's favorite book, Dumpy the Dumptruck. Don't worry, Old Red. When the snow melts, Charlie and his grandpa will be out to restore you to your former glory....

Note to self: HDR makes snow look FANTASTIC. Beautiful shot. Again, the lighting and composition are just perfect, and the clouds add a ton of interest to the sky. .

subnote: ...not always... you need the right light and contrast before it looks good.. alot of people make the mistake of think HDR works some sort of magic.. but the key to good HDRI is to start with good light and a well shot photo..

the clouds were the whole reason I went out that day ... you can relate I'm sure.. you're a cloud junky too ...

I want Old Red for my very own. Don't matter if he starts up or not.
I suck at driving anyhow. I seem to run CRASH into things. lol
Looking at him makes me wonder about how many adventures he's driven through the years. ha ha

Fabulous shot, my dear.
