Location
A city suburb, this car was parked on the Street. It was red with a white roof. It's my favourite vintage car. I rang the doorbell and asked the driver if she could drive it up and down for me so I could get my panning shot. She happily obliged.Time
It was around 4 in the afternoon on a Spring day. There were lots of huge fig trees linning the streets so there was alot of shade. I love how the background has been distorted.Lighting
Natural light, no flash, lots of dappled shade and a stream of sunlight. The white rectangle in the top of the pic was actually a tiny parking sign on a pole.Equipment
Film Camera, Canon.Inspiration
The brief for my assignment was to create a shot that showed an affective use of movement while panning.Editing
I developed the film and picture myself, in my own darkroom at the time.In my camera bag
Canon Film camera back then, which is why the photo turned out grainy which I love.Feedback
Keep practising your craft.
