#47 of 365 project

I've been feeling rather stifled trying to take my daily shots either a) while cooking dinner, or b) after putting Liam to bed. I've decided to try to go out during my lunch break and force myself to shoot in harsh conditions (i.e. horrible mid-day lighting).

I have to accept that I can't always be in a great place for the "golden hours". Over the past couple of days practicing this, I've come to the conclusion that mid-day is not as bad as it seems, provided there's some nice close-up texture to capture.

This was shot at a place, near a creek by my old office. This truck has been seen before (here, and here), but has so much character that it needed to be shown again.

I really liked the way the shadows were playing on this in the harsh mid-day light.
