Old 58by `kkart

Photography / Transportation

You have to love rural exploring and decay and it is something which I often find myself drawn to as a photographer and this 1958 Chevy pickup made one heck of a worthy subject! Located on the back roads outside of Central City, Colorado it stood like a beacon against the evening sunlight in all it's glory at the height of Autumn. She was a beauty and really made for such a worthy subject.

The exposure here was quite difficult with the light and so I went ahead and shot this on my Sony a550's HDR mode at a strength setting which I generally don't use. I wanted the dark's though to come alive and it worked. I wouldn't have been able to really get the shot otherwise as the truck was pretty much backlit and the sides of it almost completely dark in a single frame.

Fun stuff! I know I will be back here again this year visiting my old friend here, camera in hand once again.

It looks like it may have been driven not that long ago. I wonder if it will be there on your next trip? Beautiful shot.

Special how the truck is in good shape, and the light make it nicer.

OK. So it's covered in vines. It doesn't look like a total basket case. In fact, it looks very restorable. It just needs a little tlc and elbow grease.
