I could'nt pass up this colorful abandoned truck on my second visit to the ghost town of Hamilton. The old town has a few deserted houses and vehicles, but no remaining residents.

I went back to my old haunting ground this week for the theme of Abandoned, Old or Decayed..I couldn't not go back to one of the most wonderfully decayed buildings I know.. my Petrol station. up the Wicklow Mountains.
It is a favourite haunt of mine.. and I have discovered there is a time for the light.. it's usually early evening when it looks at its best. I was a little too late when I arrived during the week to take some shots, but I figured better late and low sun than never..

Busy day, I'm still making cake..LOL I'll post a picture asap. This is my old shed again, I love the colour of the moss growing on the decaying wood, It's been pouring down here all day pretty much, so this is all you get.lol I took a 15 min break from my cake decorating and I didn't feel like getting myself or my camera wet so I pretty much just ran out, snapped a couple and then ran straight back in.haha
Have a good weekend everyone!
Any help identifying the make, model and year of this vehicle very much appreciated!

Nikkor 17-35mm lens at 35mm
3 images at F22 +/- 1
ISO 800
Merged in Oloneo PhotoEngine before being processed and enhanced in CS3 and PSP
Further 28mm LTM Canon f2.8 testing following home service of helical.
Just trying close-up, a bit dark but picked up detail and focus where I put it.
Another shot of Petra from our urban decay photo shoot on Angel Island. The buildings that were accessible had their staircases demolished so you couldn't gain access above the ground floor. This one was a fantastic spot for photos with the open window above the stairs and incredibly vibrant peeling paint.
Also, Petra would like you to know she recycles boys.

Decay:
intransitive verb

3: to fall into ruin
4: to decline in health, strength, or vigor
5: to undergo decomposition
Merriam-Webster Dictionary
How I Did This:
1) I took a handheld shot using a Nikon D80 coupled with a Sigma 105mm lens - and I "filled" the frame with the complete flower so as to not have too much space left... and to make the flower really stand out
2) The daisy was in a planter sitting atop a four foot retaining wall and I stood below the wall and shot upwards against a gray sky
3) I converted the gray sky to black by using the "replace color" function embedded within the "Enhance" option in Photoshop Elements 5.0
4) I sharpened the image with the sharpening "Unmask" tool a bit to bring out the details of the orange blossom as it slowly begins to decay
I've learned so much from fellow shooters on Flickr over the last two years.....and I now try to explain how I craft my images so others can learn as well.
As most of you who are self taught know, it's really all about trial and error - but a little bit of instruction can sometimes help.....

"How could anybody confuse truth with beauty, I thought as I looked at him. Truth came with sunken eyes, bony or scarred, decayed. Its teeth were bad, its hair gray and unkempt. While beauty was empty as a gourd, vain as a parakeet. But it had power. It smelled of musk and oranges and made you close your eyes in a prayer."
