Guy had owned this truck for about a week when I saw it a few days ago. Asked him why he bought it. He said because he wanted it and could!

Deuce and a halfs are horrible noisy things to drive, with gearboxes that sound like rock-crushing equipment. Hope he knows a good chiropractor and has a good pair of ear-defenders

The Soul is infinitely preferable.

Normally, I use a 10 Megapixel Canon Digital SLR camera, but today I was experimenting with a 16 Mp Point and shoot Canon.

I would not be too sure of that. Older posts have links to pictures that may have been moved or deleted. If those pictures were not uploaded to the site, they will show a message stating that they are no longer available.

Right, let's revive this thread again because we have an excellent subject to discuss.

Rick took a great photograph here, but as with most photos there is still room for improvement and that's nothing to do with Rick's photography at all. Hopefully some of the stuff I've talked about in this thread has stuck in his noggin because the car is beautifully framed by the wind pump and the trees, plus the gateway. The wind-pump is a very important element in the picture. It leaves us in no doubt that were out in the countryside y'all and as such defines the main subject because that's where Rick lives.

This is a great photograph, but it's also a great Portrait of the vehicle. It's a very frame-able picture, but like most human portraits there are days when a photographer captures a great picture of you, but you just happen to have a big zit on your nose. Not what you want to frame and hang on your wall. The zits in this picture are the little visual distractions that tease the eye away from Rick's fabulous Soul which I'm sure he never intended.

This is where I get my own back on Rick for all those photos he's posted in the past every time he makes a little mod to the car and we're supposed to spot them. Take this Busby and tell me all the visual tweaks I've done.

Sky is a little different
Car looks a little brighter
I'm sure there's more that I'm not "seeing". Here's the original photo.

 

[Rick Busby]

Oh yeah, no more zits. Ok Martin, tell me what you did. I try to do a little but I'm doin this on my phone and can never seem to get it quite right. Of course it might help if I knew what I was doin and how to do it! And I see you're using the word "y'all" now. A Texan at heart!
