As the world passes by

This stolen, torched & dumped Daihatsu Hijet was just near my place. I hadn’t seen anything like it before in my area and had to get some pics before it was towed away (turns out it was there for about 2 weeks before it was towed!!)

I took a few different ones, but this one was my favourite. I think the train in the background further reinforces a sense of isolation.

I had to set up very quickly to get this shot as the train waits for nobody (well, at least not between stations anyway!), so I setup the tripod, quickly focussed using live view then metered from the road in the foreground. As it turns out the foreground was slightly underexposed, but thanks to Lightroom I was able to fix this without any dramas.

Taken with Canon EOS 40D Camera with 10-22 EF-S lens.

    I really love this! Where did you spot this? Love the metallic colours & really love the fact the the colours of the train mirror the abandoned car! Great work :)

    Thanks Paula. It was quite close to Westfield Marion Shopping Centre.

    Cheers Martin. I thought the inclusion of the moving Train would definitely enhance the image.
