About the Image(s)

How I Did It: This week-end I visited a "Collector's Farm". Lots of old buildings fulled with stuff; furniture, weird, rusty items, a small but nice garden, etc. There was an old farm truck parked on the property. (See Group 9) It had a large tank on the back of the cab. The tank looked as if it may have been used for chemicals to spray fields. (??) I photographed the entire truck but began to look for small parts of interest for this Group. This part served as an attachment of the tank to the bottom of the truck.
Post processed with NIK Detail Extractor, clone tool to remove a branch of old leaves in the lower right corner, adjusted the shadow slider under Light and Dark in Photoshop Elements and cropped along the left side of the frame.
Camera settings: f8, 1/200 sec., ISO 400

HI Priscilla: It appears you have a picture of leaf springs supported by the shackle, a common part on trucks. Composed well with the top part of the leaf springs included in the upper right corner. The shackle and leaf springs do not seem really tack sharp to me. You do not mention the use of a tripod, it may have been a good idea to use it on this picture to attain maximum sharpness. Good Subject.   Posted: 06/10/2018 00:48:18



 
Hi Priscilla, I like the subject, you accomplished a nice photo which appears to be a bright sunny day. Camera setting look to be right on. The only problem I see is the photo is not as sharp as it could be.   Posted: 06/11/2018 06:36:42

I just love rusty things! Just published a book about RUST! https://amzn.to/2lm01iP

I think that this is a good subject, needs to be sharper, practice your depth of field, your camera angle was not parallel camera sensor to subject. Also a polarizer would have helped with the glare.

Your time of day was tough, I often carry a diffuser for days and subjects like this, fold up small in your pocket and pops open to diffuse the sun.

Try Topaz Glow autoshine -- works well with rusty things...
