Rumley

An old farm truck.  It was photographed at Bright's Nursery Museum. near Planada, Ca.  The museum is not kept up so photographing there is a challenge, with poor lighting and the closeness of other vehicles. I had to crop out the distracting bg, used some creative lighting using Viveza to   bring out some of the details on the truck.  I finally applied some tonal contrast using Color Efex Pro 4.
Finally, I have tried to get some historical back ground on Rumley's with little  success.  If any one has info on this company it would be appreciated.  Thanks for putting up with this long dissertation.   I would appreciate any comments. 
Camera Data:  Canon 5D Markii, Canon 24-70f/2.8, ISO: 200, Aperture: f/8, Shutter Speed: 2secs.

Cool.  It's fun to see these old vehicles.  Never heard of a Rumely.  Looked it up in Wikipedia and there is a short article.  Photographically, a good job in presenting this old truck.

Floyd,

Great job picking this gem out of the background and your processing in general.  A fine old truck and you've given it it's due.
