Wednesday, February 15th, 2012 was his funeral. Driving in the procession out to Calverton National Cemetary in Riverhead NY, I spot this old truck on the side of the road. After the service my cousin Richard and Lori asked if I saw the truck. I told them that I did and I planned to come back at night to shoot it before I left. They wanted to go with.
All I had with me was my 40D and Tamron 28-75. No tripod, no remote shutter... Fortunately Walmart sells a tripod, which is only marginally better than hand holding... But they have a great return policy, so I went that route.
Borrowed a flashlight from my Aunt Barbara, and the 3 of us were off...
It was pretty cold and windy this evening. I think we were out of the car for maybe 20 or so minutes. I had to shoot this in 7 frames as I was limited to 30 seconds for a shutter speed and couldn't light all of the parts that I wanted to in that amount of time. By the time we were done with this comp, my fingers were numb - so there was no doing another angle...
F2.8, ISO400, 30seconds for each of the 7 frames. Stacked and masked in PS-CS5E...
