Some more from the road less traveled
The two above are from that great old tractor that I found towards the journey that made it onto the Life @ 50 posting for last week. The top shot was a quick edit in Silver Efex Pro. The lower shot was a bit more on the tweaking side to get that great aged look. I used a trick from the my book on how to age the tractor a bit by using Bleach Bypass to give the metal a bit of character, using exclusion control points on the surrounding areas to dampen the effect since I work mostly in Smart Filters now a days. After the trip through Color Efex, I dropped it into Silver Efex Pro and did a few quick edits and that is all she wrote. If you want to see a video of how this was done drop a line in the comments section, and I will try to get one posted in the next few days.
Shot of an old tool shed that was toward the end of the day. Loved the steel wheels with the Road Work sign.
This one I was hoping says it all, I hung my hat up (yes, I sometimes wear a cowboy hat) on the fence post at the end of the day and that was all she wrote. It was really a shocking thing to note that this road, one that has been nearby all this time, and one that I hadn’t driven on in a very long time had so many great things to offer.
