Description
This image captures an abandoned car (late 1930's Chrysler if I'm not mistaken) that sits in Ranch Park in Susanville, California, USA. The park was set aside from ranch land that sits adjacent to the town, hence the name. I don’t know much about this old relic but assume it was abandoned there before the area became a park. One thing I do know is that I find it very photogenic!
This image was created by capturing several images witout moving the camera and artistically blending them in post production. 15 separate frames were stacked together for the sky which dramatically reduces digital “noise.” I then captured several more frames by “light painting” the car with a handheld flashlight and combined the whole package together for the final image.
