I have found my personal rust paradise, only about 45 min from me. acres of old cars and trucks untouched for decades. It was a scrap yard years ago, but even the wrecks are awesome. I was overwhelmed walking the place, it would take a solid month just to see it all. much less Photograph. so...anytime I want to shoot old cars. I got that covered.
Goldfield Ghost Town, Apache Junction, Pinal County, AZ Jul 2, 2011 — I hand-held multiple exposures then converted five images to tiffs using Lightroom. I used Photomatrix to tone-map the HDR image. I spruced-up the image using the Topaz plug-ins DeNoise, Detail, and Simplify, and touched-up the image using Photoshop.

Left over from a set of hay mow pulleys I photographed several years ago. I took another shot at it because I love the casting detail as well as the rusty texture. This is another 50mm prime lens exercise. It provides a great quality shot. The EF Myers Company was known for its efficient water pumps but they also manufactured other products for agriculture. www.farmcollector.com/equipment/history-f-e-myers-and-bro/
Another one of my personal favorites... The Tokina 12-24mm f/4 has proven to be incredibly reliable!
A rusty hinge, peeling paint, and a missing nail tell a story about an abandoned farmhouse near Vale, Oregon
Viewing large on black shows all the grungy details. ;)
This is an old Plymouth that sits in a driveway in my neighborhood. I love the colors of the rust against the fading body paint. Throw a little chrome in there and it's photographic eye candy. ;)

PROCESSING NOTES:
for each individual image I ...
- duplicated the Background Layer, changed to LAB Mode, ran a high-pass filter, changed back to RGB Mode, and switched the blend mode of that layer to Soft Light
- duplicated the new layer to double the effect
- made another duplicate of the Background Layer, dragged it to the top, ran high-pass filter, changed blend mode of that layer to Soft Light (to bring out details even more)
- made a stamp of all layers, added a b&w adjustment layer, manually adjusted it for a high-contrast look, switched that stamped layer to Soft Light blend mode, then tweaked the b&w adjustment layer until I achieved the desired look
- added a texture layer to the top and changed it's blend mode to Soft Light
After putting them all into the collage then individual adjustments were made (curves, hue, levels, masks where needed, etc.) to get them all to flow well.

This truck reminded me of "Mater" from Cars for some reason. The other pics I took weren't that great b/c it was on a trailer.
Rosanky Swap Meet, Rountop, TX
I think these two rooms are my favorite by far in the entire series.
Caption reads: Effective screening by surrounding woodlands provides the living room with privacy and serenity. Carefully placed outdoor lighting prevents large mirrorlike reflections on the glass walls at night and adds a touch of cool green from outdoors to complement the warm melon and rust tones. The living room and dining room, forming one large room with glass walls on three sides, are separated by the fireplace.
