A couple of years ago I was out with two friends in an area outside Auburn CA. It was a Sunday morning, we were just seeing what we could find. We ended up with some nice tulip shots, and even some cool goat shots of all things. I'll get around to showing you those.
But we also found a bunch of derelict trucks, in a working aggregate yard.
Half blind
Canon 20d, 24-70 F2.8 L, 51mm, F8.0, 1/40th, iso 100
We drove onto this large property, expecting someone to come and ask us what we were doing, but for about an hour we had the place to ourselves. There were at least 50 of these decaying trucks, probably spanning 40 years. We each got many good shots.
I'm fond of this one. For one thing, with cars and trucks, I prefer to isolate various elements, rather than try to shoot the entire vehicle. This shot makes me think that day after long day, this truck just watches his buddies slip into oblivion. It was kind of an overcast morning. So nearly all these shots were on the tripod. I'll have to revisit this spot eh? What say Dayna and Stephen?
