Challenge:Garbage (Classic Editing) Camera:Kodak DX3900 Location: Waste Management Transfer Station Date: Oct 2, 2002 Aperture: f 2.8 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/30 Galleries:Action Date Uploaded: Oct 6, 2002
Taken at a Garbage Transfer Station where they deliver the garbage from trucks to be taken to landfill in a rural area. There are tons of trash here. I kind of had to talk my way in here as they usually don't have folks come in to take photos I guess!!

I don't normally let the title influence my vote, but this title really carried this shot from being just an image of a garbage truck being emptied to a funny and thought-provoking image of the time we live in. We fill ourselves and our lives with JUNK. Nice. 8, just-married
This is nice, but I think that the harsh glare on the side of the truck is pretty distracting. This is a funny photo accompanied by the title, but without the title, it's not funny at all. I like the angle and framing/cropping. I guess my only nitpick is the glare on the side of the truck. Overall a nice shot though. Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~

One of the nicer shots of the week, in my opinion. I like the motion that you captured as the trash made it's descent. The only complaint that I could make would be the reflection/glare on the side of the truck and at the opening at the top left... but hey, what can you do? :) - 8 - JB
I think this is definitely the best 'lots of trash' shot I have seen this week :) The exposure is a little hot in places, but overall, a great shot :) = 10 - setzler
