Location
I took this photo, during a car show. The car show was part of a fundraiser, to help raise funds to rebuild a barn on the Steele Co. Fairgrounds. Two years prior a terrible storm, damaged one of the barns used during the Fair.Time
I don't remember specifically. But believe that the car show began around 10 AM. From what I recall, this was probably a good hour or so into that.Lighting
I'm a self taught photographer. But I do enjoy tight and low angles when capturing vehicles. I also remember being mesmerized by both the clouds and blue sky. Especially how they played off the color of the car.Equipment
This was captured with a Nikon D5100 and it's starter lens.Inspiration
Most photos of classic cars, seem to emphasis the fins on those old girls. In my mind it personifies the 50's!Editing
I simply, or more accurately tinker around on photoshop. And I suppose rely more on how the images makes me feel, as I'm editing.In my camera bag
Just the Nikon D5100 body and starter lens.Feedback
Don't be afraid to experiment and try different angles. It never bothers me to have people stare, as I lay flat on my stomach to capture a moment.
