 On October 17, 2024, James Engel captured a nostalgic piece of the past blended with the essence of fall. This striking image, taken at the Austin Pumpkin Festival, features a classic 1950s Chevy truck painted in a rich red, its bed overflowing with bright pumpkins. The vibrant contrast between the smooth, timeless curves of the truck and the rustic charm of the pumpkins brings a playful yet sentimental tone to the scene. Shot with a Nikon D850 at 60mm, ƒ/5.6, 1/125 sec, and ISO 100, every detail is sharply rendered—from the bold color of the vintage truck to the texture of the pumpkins, filling the frame with warmth and character. The photograph serves as a reminder of simpler times, a symbol of both the harvest season and the lasting beauty of things from a bygone era. This image doesn't just celebrate the arrival of fall, it bridges the past and the present, evoking memories of autumn drives down country roads, with the crisp air and golden leaves framing every turn. 🍁🚜 #EngelPhotography #AustinPumpkinFestival #FallNostalgia #VintageVibes #ChevyAndPumpkins |
