Challenge: Free Study 2007-03 (Advanced Editing V)
Camera: Pentax *ist DL
Lens: Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF
Location: Cordell Ok.
Date: Mar 11, 2007
Aperture: f5.6
ISO: 3200
Shutter: 1/2000
Date Uploaded: Mar 23, 2007

 Shot at 3200 ISO for grain, desaturated, levels, contrast. When I see something like this I have to wonder what was going throught the mind of the person (family) that bought this car (or built the shop) when it was new, it was 51 years ago (in the case of the car) so the dream is more than likely forgotten now but...
Yeah, I know, I'm weird, LOL.

You know, this is a great title for what you are thinking here. I like the black and white used to convey the old style mood. Can you go back and get a full on shot of the car? Capture the mood of the car or even it's unhappy face. Fill the frame with the sad and forgotten car. Nice pic!

Interesting title to this one - and I like the shot. Has sort of a dismal, bleak feel to it, which I figure based on your title, is sort of what you were after.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two three four now and I'm running late, sorry.

Nice picture and you seem to have captured what you intended. I probably would have cloned out the power line.

Love the grain and the general composition. Great atmosphere in this image - works well in B+W.
