Comment from Orion008


This stuff you call "old crap", seems to be carrying significantly different colors with each entry. The rich orange here, has got my thinking that I need more Vitamin C, lol. The framing of the drivers area creates a good center of attraction, keeping the sharpness on point. Great find- Orion008.

This is my kind of shots unplanned and surprising. I love to see found object and to capture them it's almost like taking them home. I really like the way you choose to take the shot tightly cropped. Thank you for sharing!

This was a great photo...not too close, yet I like the almost up-in-your face power of the truck. Not to far away either...good contrast in zoom. Great shot.

Kaput? No way !! Looks like they is a guardin' it with barb wire so has value :) I laughed so hard tears rolled when I saw this ole truck and you sayin' it is kaput !! This has two headlight which are in place and NOT broken, has fenders, hood, front window looks good, bumper, and tires...WOW Wait until you see the trucks which are REALLY kaput that are putt putt on our roads :)
Love the way you capture such wonderful "crap" and bring them back to life!!

Very good picture, sounds like taken under difficult cicumstances. Managed to get a lot of detail and I like the angle at which it was taken. The decaying vehicle says a lot about our material world.

I like very much the colors of this ole truck. It's amazing that the headlights still look like they're in very good condition. Thanks for sharing all the old crap (excuse me...I mean vintage) you come across. Keep them coming! I enjoy them.

Comment from shiverfix


Another nice shot of ole crap! This has great detail in it. There is so much attention drawn by the cab of the truck, and I really do think the other details add to the overall feeling. I don't really find anything distracting in this shot, even though there was the opportunity for it to happen. I even think the out of focus barbed wire adds character. Great job.

Comment from korborak


Very nice capture! The colors and the rusty metal textures are beautiful! The foreground is a bit busy but it is still nice. :)

How in the world do you find these old timers ? especially in the year 2005. Maybe someday you will find an old Ford Edsel. Very good focus, composition and coloration.

    Not easy and not always fun, only fun when ya find somethin'---this was up about 10,000 ft or more. My brother's first car was a black and red Edsel station wagon! What I would give for a pic of that!! Thank you so much howdy!!!
