Description
EDIT: Re-blended again in Adobe Photoshop, tone mapped in Photomatix. The Photomatix watermarks will go away once I purchase the program... later this year
I've always wanted to take an HDR of this 1957 Ford Edsel. It's a forgotten American classic.
This car was on private property. In South Carolina, if you have more than three "No Trespassing" signs, that can be visibly seen, on your property, the owner is allowed to shoot and kill the trespasser without forewarning. I risked my neck for this photograph, so at least leave a comment before faving

Amazing photo! This is 1959 Edsel, not Ford Edsel ! FoMoCo was "mother company" behind Edsel, Edsel was own marquee / brand. Similar errow would be "Chevrolet Oldsmobile" 
Crayy law there is, if someone cames your "no trepassing" yard, you can shoot anyone ???? Here in Finland that is called MURDER

Great shot there! You dont see many of these Edsels, not even at car shows all that often.
I wish we had a law like that here in Texas, about the no tresspassing signs, but I think the law here is (or Ive heard) if there's any one tresspassing on your property that you feel is a threat, you can legally shoot at them, but Im not sure about actually killing them. I just want to scare off annoying door to door ppl, if that was the law here Id have all 3 "No Tresspassing" signs on my front door! XP lol

Awesome photo and manipulating of it! Looks like a watercolor painting. Great lighting. I can sympathize with the trespassing bit: A rancher shot at me once, after I ducked under a barbed wire fence to get a better photo of a windmill. Not a good time. Keep up the nice work!

You'd probably like the car my neighbor just bought: a '64 Impala SuperSport w/ factory 4-spd & 327 - all totally original. Tho the dark blue paint is fading fast, interior is damn near perfect. He paid $7000 for it - thinks it's worth $20,000 !!

We had to take out a $70,000 insurance policy on ours. *cough cough*

Super phto - nice angle and lighting. However, the car is a 1959 Edsel Ranger, not a 1957.

I am usually not a fan of HDR but I like this one. Good shot and good post processing work.

That's such a shame

I think the guy who owns it is building an Edsel. This was just one of three that were parked out there, and it was the most rusted. I think he's parting them out to build one

Okay, that makes it much better then lol xDD

Crazy!!! You should have asked! The owner might not have minded!
of course where I come from most people really don't care. As long as you don't do anyhting but take the pictures. Most of the time I would get in a conversation about the car and soon they were asking if I wanted it. lol,

I could have asked, but I wasn't about to be denied like my two previous photo shoot permissions

Thank you!
It's been there for over a year, and I've continued to drive past it. From the road, I thought it was a '60 Impala. It's far from the road

Ah now that makes sense ^^
Ah I'd like to have some old US car too.
Not quite easy to get one here thogh ^^

It's not easy getting one in the United States either. I'm sure it's even worse in Europe.
Luckily, I already have one

Yeah I had a look at it already... if I got the discription right.
It's very nice.
Looks like quality work ^^

I read and article on the Edsel yesterday. I find them to be so ugly that they are actually quite cool.
