Location
This was taken in Mt. Airy, North Carolina. It was an old truck set up to be a replica of one that was used in "The Andy Griffith Show". There was also a mock jail with a squad car and an old gas station and wrecker.Time
It was taken around mid day so the sun was pretty harsh.Lighting
The sun was very bright so I used flash from the camera to illuminate the shadows.Equipment
Canon 60-D with a EF-S 15-85 lens and on-camera flash hand heldInspiration
We made a trip to Mt. Airy just to see all of the Andy Griffith related attractions. This was his hometown.Editing
The photo was blown out pretty bad due to the harsh light so I added color and contrast as well as croppingIn my camera bag

You have to be ready for all conditions when you go out. Shooting in the middle of the day was not optimum but sometimes you have to get the shot anyway. Post processing sometimes will save a shot. I was pretty happy with the results on this one.
