There is the great old junk yard not far from my home that has old cars and trucks scattered about in the woods. It is a great place to wander around with a camera. The owner of the place has figured out how to capitalize on the uniqueness of his junk yard by charging photographers an entry fee.
My first visit to Old Car City was cut short due to a cold rain which was unanticipated. The rain was great for bringing out the colors and texture on a drab low contrast winter day. Unfortunately, I was unprepared for rain (no rain jacket) as it was not in the forecast. While my S2 doesn’t mind the rain, I sure do especially with cold temperatures (~40 degrees). I got to see less the half of the junk yard so I can’t wait to get back for a do over.
As you can see, I took considerable liberties in the processing of these images. In this case I preferred the HDRish look over the straight processing. I gave the files a basic processing treatment in LR4 and then finished them off with the NIK HDR plug-in. Each image is a single file HDR and I tried to exercise some restraint, but didn’t worry to much about it. It was fun going outside my normal comfort zone. I noticed the color temps are not consistent across the set and would need to be corrected before printing and displaying as a set (if that ever happens).
It’s amazing how a place like Old Car City can turn into a photographer’s playground, with all that weathered texture and history to capture. The HDR processing you used really brings out the character in the images, much like how Sprunki Retake layers sounds to create something unique. Despite the rain, it sounds like you found a creative challenge—and sometimes, that’s when the best shots come to life!
If you are also interested in online games, besides the very popular Sprunki Retake, there is also Geometry Dash. Oh! This game never gets old. That is for sure.
Eu encontrei spinmacho num grupo de apostas que sigo. Falaram que o site era popular entre jogadores portugueses e decidi testar. Foi fácil criar conta e começar a jogar. Perdi algumas rodadas no início, mas logo consegui recuperar e até ganhar um extra. O ambiente é tranquilo, sem anúncios chatos, e a experiência foi muito positiva.
