Delegate Photography Trip – Laurie McArthur
Well, consistent with my well known extreme temperament, I’ve presented these images from the truck and car graveyard in the heart of Delegate, in vivid colour. In some cases there is extra computer manipulation.
Like my images? Hate them? Please leave a comment at the bottom of the page.
I really don’t mind how you respond to my view of the rusting vehicles, so long as they elicit some response. If you’re indifferent to my photography, then I’ve failed.

Introduction to: Delegate Photography Trip
Hey Laurie, love the saturation! Especially good on the International sign and also the NRMA one.
Interesting treatment that works for me.
Tony
Thanks Tony.
Yes, I was looking to express my inner reaction to the truck and car graveyard.
It’s not really a nice place, huh? Decay, danger, disorder. The high saturation and contrast speak to my feelings as I looked around.
The International truck badge is part positive and part negative, a bit like a sebattier effect. Done with an 8bf filter. This is a Photoshop filter used in Irfanview.

Ah! NOW I understand my hubby a bit more. I love color – lots and lots of color! He was a pipefitter in an Army base, opened in the mid 1800s and “modernized” for WWI. He used to take in the camera to take black and white pictures of pipes – lots and lots of pipes. A pipe is a pipe is a pipe! It’s no rose!
With your pictures, you had me look at old dead metal in new ways. The colors got me looking. The colors captured the different textures and intracacies to really get me to notice the very things that make my hubby interested in old, cold, dead metal. Form past function. No doubt these forms were created by a guy – they’re stark, mostly made for function, but, even there, I can see the original designer’s hours of work, to make the part smooth, and just the right angle – as if, he was making it for eternity. No longer dead metal – but a man’s attempt at perfection in form and purpose. Helps me realize, when hubby is making a bolt match other bolts, once they are screwed in, that’s not OCD, that’s matching the makers desire for perfection.
T’ain’t bad for a girl, huh?! LOL
Ah! Pleased that I communicated with you through the Images, Lynn. Thanks.
