Ahahahaa, okay, so not really “tired” but ya get my drift! 😛 I’ve walked through this park countless times and have never noticed this tire sitting there, collecting it’s growth. It’s rather interesting what you see in a place during each season, I am certain in the summer this tire is completely overgrown with shrubs and the likes.
I decided upon my next theme, starting with this image. Going to only post images with the focal length at 85mm and the aperture at f/1.8. I’ll leave a little wiggle room by allowing myself to change the shutter and iso. Hope you enjoy this theme, it’ll be interesting taking the images…
f/1.8 | 1/400 | iso 100 | Canon 85mm f/1.8
…Enjoy!

Great photo. I keep thinking how long was the tire laying there after seeing how much has grown through it. I also dig the green on the tire tread.
I had the same thoughts…and why I haven’t noticed it before!
Interesting theme. I absolutely love the tangled brush and the growth on the tire. I forgot you are using a full-frame now. That 85 looks so good on it. I have the 85, but find it a bit long on my cropped censor to do much more than portrait work
Awww, come on, all you need to do is step back! 😛 Okay, okay, I really do know what you mean as I borrowed this same lens when I was shooting on my crop sensor and there is certainly a huge difference! Thank you for the comment.
Groan.
That’s a cool idea. Nice to have that fast of an 80mm lens! You going to stick with uncropped images too, or will you allow cropping in this theme too? If not, then you have loads of wiggle room, if you can get far enough away from the subject.
Sorry for the delay in answering, funny but I addressed your question in a more recent post without knowing (great minds think alike right?). I normally don’t crop in post, and don’t plan on doing it for this series but if I do (as I have done already once), I will not it.
Setting limits let the mind imagine…..it’s a great idea David. I like your image here….
Thank you Martina, hope you like the series. It’s been interesting shooting w/these limits, interesting but FUN!
Great textures, David. I can’t wait to see more of the photos you’ll post under this new theme 🙂
Thank you Gracie, I think I’ve already got a few interesting shots using my 85mm @ 1.8…we shall see eh?
Nitidez, colores……….lo que yo busco, saludos
The greens and sharpness are something else eh? Thank you for your comment. 😀
Si, es verdad, impresionante
And a very BAAD pun!
Ahhhh yes, what can I say but…it was early when I wrote that! 😛 Thank you for the comment.
That’s OK. I enjoy sly puns and this was a good one!
The photograph is really neat too!
Amazing textures! 🙂 The green makes it so lively.
Thank you Nandini, I rather dig that old tire…
