I enjoy photographing unusual sights - as you know by now. This set of horns mounted on the bull bar of a ute caught my attention last week. A ute (short for utility vehicle) is known as a pickup in the rest of the world and yes, I'm sure there's a lot of pickup lines there! As you can see by the photograph below, I was determined to get the map of Australia, the horns and the Aussie flag all in the same frame.
It took a lot of patience, I can tell you. I could have just held the end of the flag and positioned it exactly where I wanted it - but that ain't the way I work. It was a breezy day, so I knew if I waited a few minutes I would eventually be able to shoot the frame I wanted. Patience sure does pay off. If you want to see some more ute pictures that I took that afternoon, go to Cowboys and Engines.
