Behind The Lens

Location

Sometimes I just turn off the main roads and hunt for hidden treasures, you never know what you might find. But one thing is for sure if you don't explore and take a chance once in awhile you'll never know what might have been. This shot was taken on one of those random trips totally by chance in a small west Texas town.

Time

It was getting late on a warm summer evening and the sun was just setting when my friend and I found this amazing classic car covered with vines. It didn't allow for a lot of time but the soft light was a perfect for this image. I find that harsh mid-day light very rarely works on rusty metal so next time you run across a rusty treasure don't rush to capture a picture pick another time if you can and capture a quality photograph. Anyone and take a picture but a true photograph comes from your heart...

Lighting

Cloudy, Rainy, early morning or late evening days work best

Equipment

As for equipment I think I was using my Nikon D-700 and Im sure a wide angle lens at around 18mm at F5.6
