Robert's Ramblings

Just maybe the state of this court is a winter aberration.

Just maybe summer will bring with it calls of foot fault, out, duce and love all.

Just maybe the cold asphalt warmed by a summer sun will give with the fall of Nike, Addidas or Puma.

Or perhaps this once were tennis...

The benefits of taking a wrong exit, getting lost in the hills and stumbling on a gem!

Well that how this image came to be. I did indeed make a wrong exit off the freeway and found myself meandering through the hills finding a back way to my destination. I spied this old truck left to rust in a beautiful green field and made a mental note to backtrack on my return and capture this image.

What struck me about this image was the contrast between the lush grass and the rusty metal.

In this capture I decided to use three exposures and HDR to bring out the content in the shadows and really draw attention to the details.
