I still have three Coolpix 2500's and one 3500. I liked them so much I bought several on eBay when they got real cheap. I use them as "beat around" cameras, always one in my glove box, computer bag, etc.

Thank you for your comments.

Actually, I tried to make the truck photo look like an old colorized black and white, but not too much. The original actually has very vivid colors. I guess I should have left it the way it was. The colors are accurate, just desaturated to make it look old. I can post the original after the contest is over.

The trucks appear to be simply work trucks that were abandoned as their usefulness went away. They start very old from the left, 1910 or so, then gradually go all the way up to a mid-seventies model. Several trucks are out of view on the right. I have pics of those also. Along with the original, I can post those later also.

Love the color of the water in the first two. Last one looks a bit desaturated... just out of interest, did you add that effect in PP?

Those look either like old Military or possibly mosquito control trucks. Any idea/history? Vintage appears to be circa 40's on some. My favorite truck is the '42 Ford Pickup...

woof!
