Default Walking down memory lane



In my latest trip to Israel I was walking through the desert and saw this abandoned car, I asked the locals and it turns out, that car has a very long story to tell. It was during one of the latest terror attacks on Israel, that this car was hit, there was a family of three inside who where killed instantly when their car burst into flames and rolled down a cliff. It was left there, in the desert's blazing heat as a bitter reminder of a dark action...

I got the angle in a way that the car is "staring" into the open, with nothing ahead of it, and a giant pile of stones blocking its retreat, as if to give it a "dreamer feel", however, I applied a soft Lomo filter so that is has more contrast and strength to it, to represent the harshness of its past.

Model: Panasonic DMZ FZ-50
Ap. : 8.6
Shutter: 1/800
ISO: 400

I hope you like, comments please!

What an utterly depressing photo - I like it. It really tells a depressing, tragic and sad story.

it looks like the contrast was bumped up way too much in post processing. too much of the sand/dirt is blown out.
