Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Edmonton, Alberta. At the time I was working in the online sales department at a Dodge dealership. Close by there was an area that was a road that divided the trees behind the vehicle and an industrial area in front.

Time

The shot was taken around 3:30 in the afternoon. I remember this because there was a big storm brewing and real heavy rainfall on the drive home.

Lighting

Not a lot I can say about the lighting in this particular shot. There was a break in the clouds behind me which let some natural light through other than that it was really overcast.

Equipment

This was shot with a Canon T3i and a 10-18mm wide angle lens with a polarizing filter. I find when shooting vehicles a polarizing filter is key to eliminating unwanted glares off the windows of vehicles.

Inspiration

To be honest I was mostly trying to get the attention of online shoppers that would normally see the same old boring stock pictures that most car dealerships use in there websites. Something that would clearly stand out in a thumb nail and make you stop speed scrolling to see what was going on.

Editing

There wasn’t a lot of post processing done to the photo, I boosted the saturation in the car, pulled some of the color out of the fore and background and fiddled with the contrasting in the clouds.

In my camera bag

I usually carry my T3i, along with 10-18mm wide, 50mm prime, 70-300mm telephoto and a standard kit lens. I have a lightweight Manfroto tripod, a 430 EX speed light and a few filters for each lens. Most important though is extra batteries.

Feedback

My best advice is a polarizing filter and low angles when shooting vehicles. I’ve had great results with these two staples. I also find for the full body shots of vehicles to try and get 3 out 4 of the vehicles corners in your shot, the varing curves and angles of the vehicle will catch the natural sun light in some amazing ways.
