In this series, Dieter Klein's technical decisions seem to include, a deep depth of field, probably a slower shutter speed, and a lower ISO. There's no movement that he needs to capture, but he does an excellent job capturing light and color. I don't know if he rearranged these scenes to achieve different patterns and color contrasts, or if these scenes were already that way haphazardly. Either way, he does a great job at making a visually stunning series.
I'm sure there's some story about why all these cars are abandoned in the middle of the woods, why they're all piled on top of each other, or why they're all torn apart and scrapped. Why has nobody come into this area and taken the parts home with them? There are no obvious thematic intents in this set, but it certainly tells some sort of story, it's just not in plain sight.
I respond very well to this set. The technical decisions that he used, the fact that he found this mechanical graveyard in the middle of the woods, and the way that he captured the light and color in these scenes is just so brilliant. It really takes effort to adventure out and find something this interesting to shoot. The kind of hidden, orthodox story that he tells here really captured my interest when I was looking for photos to post.
