Antique Fire Truck

Posted by Bill (Belton, Missouri, United States) on 5 November 2009 in Documentary & Street and Portfolio.

Made by the American La France Company... probably in the early to mid 1930's... but that date is only a guess.

Superb old fire tender, it would look great with some heavy attack treatment as HDR.

Bill! That just reminded me that I have a ton of images from a summer festival with antique cars and fire trucks in them. *sigh* I am so far behind in editing! This image is great with the autumn leaves in the background ;0)

What a beauty you have here Bill. Nice composition. I love the shadows and the beautiful fall background...that blue sky helps a lot too ;)

@Lambspun: Thank you so much Lambspun! I was really surprised to find this in a small country town.

I agree with Curly. That is what I thought too when I first saw it. It's a keeper. It might be interesting with the Orton effect applied as well. Ask P about that.

@Jen: Thanks so much Jen! I've done the Orton effect in the past but haven't used it for quite some time.
