She needs a coat of paint!

Nice...PS lens flares?

[jumpinjimmyjava]

Hey Mad, she needs a motor too. Michaelaw, not sure you agree but any lens flare makes a pic for me! Thanks for the comments and take care guys - jimmy

[Mad Aussie]

Yes well ... my comment on a coat of paint was actually more a symbolic/hint that it needs a full and utter restore

I like lens flare also ... but only when it works for me. I certainly don't see flare and immediately turn off the photo.

I don't really like the PS rendered flare here though. Mainly because it's so recognisable as such.

Hey Mad, I agree PS flares are not the best but this old wreck was so dull and decayed I thought it needed a bit of colour and interest. I captured this decaying truck in an ancient oil field. I was a foot deep in water and only took a few snaps. Well take care - jimmy

[Mad Aussie]

Wow did you take any of the water and the truck?

[jumpinjimmyjava]

Mad, my feet were cold (freezing) and wet! The truck was in one of the deep ruts created by the drilling rigs in the blue clay. I just wanted to get back to my warm car. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! - jimmy

[Mad Aussie]

Fair enough. I wouldn't want you to get your skirt wet

[jumpinjimmyjava]

Mad, I've had my skirt wet before!
