Used Cars

In October I went out to Stan Reynolds' Salvage Yard in Wetaskiwin with Images Camera club for a photo shoot. Over about 5 decades, Mr Reynolds has collected everything from old wagons and threshing machines to jet aircraft. Many of his vehicles became the start of the Reynolds Alberta Museum. See the attached link.

When I saw the truck with the old advertising board, I knew I had to take the picture. I have altered the original with a faked blue sky and posterized the colors.


Some of you have seen another edit I did on the original photo using a the 'threshold' option in my editor. It converts light and dark areas into a inked appearance. Some pre-editing was required to clean up the background and adjust shadows to create this 'drawing'.
