“Antique”
This antique was located on private property just outside the property line of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. While taking the Roaring Forks Motor Tour upon exiting the park property you come to a little old concession and gift shop. My wife went inside and I took a few shots of this old antique of a car. I took nine shots of this car and processed 5 of them in Photomatix Pro 4.0 to get my final HDR image. They were shot at F/13 in one stop increments. I kept my aperture at F/13 and varied the shutter speed 1/8 sec, 1/4 sec., 1/20 sec, 1/45 sec and 1/90 sec.

Doris thank you for the kind words. In general I only post some of my better images. I don’t know , is that fair?

Perfect subject and you’ve done a lovely job of HDR with it; naturally brought out the details of this old vehicle. Colours are wonderful.
It’s always a treat to visit your blog Edmund, I so admire your photography skills.

I am fortunate in that I can (sometimes ) pre-visualize what the final result will look like. In this case I was lucky. There was a split rail fence preventing anyone from getting closer or changing the angle from where it was taken from. I tried to move a little to the right but the fence and bushes prevented me from doing so. So I was afraid what the lens distortion would look like but it really is not that bad. Thank you for such nice comments.

Tell the truth Eddie, this is just your old truck that you had forgotten where you parked it, and you ar trying to appease your guilty conscience by turning it into a work of art! Old Age is scary, ain’t it? Asthis truct will attest!
