Default The Road Trip

Saw this truck sitting in a field on the side of the highway and i just KNEW i had to pull over.



Only PP was cropping a bit off the bottom, and conversion to BW. Nothing fake here.

I chose a relatively high shutter speed in order to get a crisp photo while handholding. Shot with my XTi and 50mm f/1.8.

I like the contrast between the truck and the clouds. Thanks for sharing.

Such dramatic clouds they really add to this photo. Very cool, I can see why you just had to pull over. I know I would have also. Nice work!

This is a great capture... dramatic clouds and great contrast with the truck color...
good PP work and B&W treatment seems to be working well with this one...
well done !
