I really like how you framed this one. Nice shot.

I like the horizontal bands running through the shot. That's some truck.

Isn't it a 28 wheeler?!

You mean 26 wheel truck?

Cool shot, bit there are 26 wheels on that truck - it's a 26-wheeler.

Nice shot. Feels good to see different image than those celbs. Looks like truck has got more than 18 wheeels :)

…or perhaps a 26 wheeler. Nice shot Sam!

Indeed it does. You could sell the the two as an unbreakable pair. Nice job with both. :)

Sam,

Some people criticize you for using photoshop too much in your photos. I say you don't use it nearly enough! I think you're a good photographer, but you could be great, if you'd do a little photoshop work, maybe add a tornado in the background. In fact, I'd also add in a little kid running naked and crying, because that's the kind of photo that wins awards. Even going a step further, you could add a fireman carrying an American flag chasing after the kid, man do people love firemen. Not me though. My uncle was a fireman, and he preffered to start fires, esspecially ones in my buttox, if you catch my drift. Just letting you know a little more about me..... and my uncle.

On the flip side, I think you could also use your P-shop skills to turn this truck into a transformer, all the kids love transformers. Or a beenie baby, kids still love beenie babies right?

Nice moody sky in this shot, nice colours.

I like the photo, but I have to point out that the truck in the picture is not an 18-wheeler. It's has 26 wheels.

I like this. It's kind of a fall compliment to the more spring toned "clouds over 18".

Technically that truck has 26 wheels.

Nice picture though. Your site is on my daily read list.

Great shot: simple composition and very effective!

The red helps liven it up for sure. I see many trucks full of timber pass our house, as I live on a main road for log truckers. It is laughable to watch trucks with almost identical loads going in opposite directions - burning gas to take their load to - uh? - could they each be wasting gas to go next door to where the other started? This is how it seems.

There is something terribly bad about our societies organization of time/fuel-consumption problems. Moving millions of humans each day instead of living next to or near to their work. No wonder we're running out of gas.

i'm pretty sure this one is using 26 wheels at the moment. i could be wrong though.

whys an 18 wheeler called an 18 wheeler? if it doesnt have 18 wheels? the one at the nd of the link has even less wheels..

nice shot btw

I think this is very well composed. The trucks remind me of scale toy models. Very good.

So this is on the way from Toronto to Quebec. This means the truck is heading from Quebec to Toronto. So here you have the vicious Torontonites' voracious appetite for telephone poles being satiated at the expense of the poor Quebeqois forests. Oh well...the French Canadian lumberjack stereotype must be perpetuated.

Well Sam, since no one else is pointing it out, this truck has 26 wheels, not 18.

I really like the photo, thank goodness you're back to normal, no offense, but I had enough of people shots. Great work, i love seeing your pictures, keep it up!

Great shot - how fast where you driving?

How's the New Camera contemplating on getting Canon 30D or Canon XTi?

Can't wait to see more of your images shot on
the new camera.

According to Google, an eighteen wheeler has five axles. That makes sense, since the axle in front has only two wheels attached. And, of course, there is what is called the "fifth wheel" on which the trailer hitch rides. And really, what does this have to do with a exquisitely made photograph?

Love it! Looks like he is escaping the storm!

great shot Sam, 18 wheeler is an ole saying, yes this is a 26, and it can go on and on.........
ps... don't post anything from "coop"....

i think i can see some of your PS work in there was there somthing behind the truck? a building perhaps? im not sure but it looks like you used the smudge tool a bit between the cab and the trailer of the truck.. i may be wrong, just curious, but either way as a amature photographer and a photoshop guru ive always admired your work, and the fact your cdn makes it that much better, keep it up, ive been comming to this site since about 2 weeks after you started

actually upon clooser inspection maybe there is no PS magic here except some post colour adjust.. my bad dont take it as an insult, the clouds look so off just above the truck i could have sworn they are PS'ed

I'm not a big fan of this shot. It it more of a showcase of how the right WB setting, a polarizer and good leves adjustment will always give a good result. It does however show what you are absolutely the king at capturing, the sky!

It appears that ol' mother nature is chasing the truck from the forest. Good to see that she is taking a more active role in conservation.

i'm in love with big trucks. thank you.

I really like how this matches with the other photo you linked. I'm sure you could probably make it so they look like they're head on!

great shot Sam, 18 wheeler is an ole saying, yes this is a 26, and it can go on and on.........
ps... don't post anything from "coop"....

What?........... Why would someone write this? You don't even know me. I love Sam, and his work. I can't believe you'd just come out and say that without taking my feelings into effect. I wish I could post a video of me writing this right now, because you'd see that I'm crying. I've gone through three keyboards just trying to write this, because all of my other ones have shorted out from the raining of tears. I hope you're happy sir.
But the thing that makes me the most sad, is that I was a p.s. An afterthought to your glorious post.

p.s. I'll be holding boxing matches for anyone who doesn't like my comments. That's an inside joke for Sam, and you won't get it, because you aren't our friend.

Great job ! love it !

I love the cloudy sky in this one

In America, this truck is known as a "hay-rack". In the logging industry, it is quite versitile as it is used both as a long logger and as a short logger (in place of two short pups, the short logs as loaded in two separate bundles). The wheel base is a bit different though - wonder why?
