A massive storm gets ready to unleash its awesome power over an outback road in Western Australia.
Again, continually obsessed with the Italian signage and autostrades – and then all of a sudden this landscape just cried out to me. It was so perfect, just the way I like it – sparse, remote, golden and with a hint of industry driving past. I waited, risking a small amount of life and death, waiting for the right vehicle to drive past – could not have asked for anything better as this truck with perfect streamlined graphics appeared matching perfectly with the blue sign and all. I’m done!
Info for the 101 group; / Shot late morning (not the best time of the day I admit) 70MM,f25, speed lost as it’s been through the Photoshop mill. / Loads of techniques used, but one that can make a difference if you like the texture look. / Take a pic of textures you see, such as brick walls,concrete is a goodie, crumpled paper etc and drop them on to your image within photoshop. Fiddle around with the blend modes and your will be surprised at the results. To darken images I often apply a new layer, then edit/fill/50% grey and set the layer blend mode to Overlay. I then grab a Soft brush with foreground colour set to black and an opacity set to between 3-5% and paint away. The idea is to darken parts of the image so that the lighter bits guide the viewer thru the image. They did this in the dark room days and called it Burning. You can also duplicate the layer and use the Burn tool for much the same effect with a choice of what you wish to effect: Highlights,Midtones or Shadows.

An old road sign riddled with bullet holes, apparently used for target practice, leans slightly off the highway near Balancing Rock in southern Idaho. This tourist stop has been heavily vandalized because of its secluded location and lack of state funding. Southern Idaho October 2007
I’m still fascinated with European road signage… we just don’t get this colour palette in Australia.
I photographed several roadways that go through Rivington, which may give you a mental picture of how brilliant Rivington really is! Hope you like the journey? CARD /

I wanted a image, that I think of alot about. This Poem was written by Vanesse Cathleen who is here on redbubble, i thought it suited this image. The Party Is Over You have been traveling down a one way street. / That will only take you to your personal defeat. It all starts out having fun with your friends / but it doesn’t take long until the parting ends. Your life gets hard, your funds get low, / depression begins to creep in slow. You have warn yourself out, your body is tired. / Your brain is warped yet, you keep getting wired. Your party has lasted a little too long. / No one will listen to your sad twisted song. Now you are traveling a little to fast / and it’s about time to make this all part / of your past. You are near the end / What will you do? Drive on… Drive off… / It’s Up To You!!!

Many thanks to Geoff Coleman for graciously lending me his lightening bolt to create this image. He hasn’t seen it yet so I hope he likes it! The highway image was taken on our trek across the Nullabor Plain when we moved from WA to Tasmania, on the part where there is not one single bend in the road for 100km’s… or is it 100miles? Oops… I forget, nevermind, I am sure someone will let me know =) It’s a bloody long stretch of straight road anyways ;) Stormchaser I no longer hide under the bed =)

During a trip to Yellowstone we made the drive through Beartooth Pass. We got caught in a blizzard at the top of the pass. The snowstorm resulted in a few nice images though. This is one of them.
