Default Ol'P17 (rotting firetruck)

this was my first real subject I shot with my dslr. I went back to shoot some more and was kicked out, guess it was a restricted area without any barricades

I have alot of straight forward shots, but these are my favorite.




and this is my first shot to come out as I had hoped.


I love decay, makes for fun shooting.

Love the shallow DOF on your third photo! I wonder what it is...

thanks.

that's funny because I first titled the phot "What's That?". I just rested the camera on the steering wheel and set the focus box on the horn, so the silver button thingy is the horn with the IH symbol for International trucks (the make). I also really liked how the DoF worked out for this shot.

I like the different shades of color on the windshield in your first one. It shows the decay as the colors run down
