Burnt Out Car / by David Herington

Tuesday September 21, 2021.

While I was driving to work I did a double take as I passed the northern end of Cross Road in Numulgi. This burnt out car was sitting on the gravel. Not an uncommon sight, however what was spilling out of the bonnet was less common. A beautiful arrangement of red bottle brush and hippeastrum flowers, flowing from the charred engine bay to the ground. I used Ilford HP5 film pushed one stop with a red 25A contrast filter to get the extra contrasty look.
