Old Buckboard

And then the wheels fell off !!

Those were some tough lighting conditions you had there. Sometimes we can't choose them but just make the best of what we get.

Does look like the light was hard work! Great shot though - would be even better without the deck in the background, but it's not like you could move it!

Well observed!

Yes, this was taken in the harsh light of an early afternoon in Goldfields, Arizona.
90+ degrees and rising. I thought the old deck railings added to the western feel, but as you say, i didn't really have much choice.
thanks for you comments.

Is this a situation where you can return for an early morning reshoot? The subject is interesting. I know how you must feel as my "Bucket List" vacation to 5 national parks last year was not scheduled with photographers in mind. It's tough salvaging a once in a lifetime visit due to contrasty light.

hehe, guess someone had a bad trip to town. why don't they put ghost towns and national parks closer to civilization. every one of my vacations ends up being the same thing - harsh noon light.

Reminds me of a song.

Now there's a thought, moon light would really look good.
