Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at the CONCOURS DELEGANCE in Cobble Beach, Owen Sound, Ontario Canada

Time

This show runs from 9am until 4pm so I try to get there early enough to avoid the large crowds. I believe this was in the early morning on a sunny day.

Lighting

This was the morning sun

Equipment

I shot this with my Nikon D3s using the 24-70mm lens

Inspiration

I loved the spoked wheel as a spare and one of the judges had just happened to peek inside the car while I was taking the shot.

Editing

I processed this photo in Photoshop CS6 and then got the effect using TOPAZ ADJUST SIMPLIFY plug-in.

In my camera bag

Lately I've been shooting a LOT more with my Nikon D750 although I shoot with my Nikon D3s for taking photos of live bands.Lens wise I use the Nikon 24-70 F2.8, Tokina 16-24 F2.8, Nikon 24-120mm and Sigma 50mm F1.4.

Feedback

When it comes to shooting classic cars, there is SO much to choose from as far as photography.Use all angles and don't be afraid to experiment.I also love talking to the owners and hear their stories about how they acquired their gorgeous automobile.I also try and carry less gear so as to be more mobile because I've seen photogs use tripods but they can be annoying in a busy/crowded event such as a Concour D'Elegance.
