Taken at the Manzanar Japanese Detention Center located off Highway 395. Sad location as many Japanese Americans were rounded up and placed in this detention center during WWII.Time
Shot late morning, early afternoon during Spring.Lighting
Dropped the highlights and brought up the shadow recovery in LightRoom.Equipment
Image was taken with my Canon 5d mkIII and the 16-35mm f2.8. Handheld in the early afternoon sun.Inspiration
The Snow capped Sierra’s and the beauty surrounding this sad location aided in capturing this historic vehicle used to move people around the detention facility. The truck called out to me!Editing
A bit of color saturation, highlight decrease, shadow increase and a bit of clarity. All done within Adobe LR.In my camera bag
70-200mm, 2.8, 16-35mm, 2.8, 50mm, 1.2, 105mm, 1.4, 100mm, macro, 2.8. And a many ND filters.Feedback
Trial and error, get out and capture images from different perspectives and time of day. This was a shot that I stumbled upon, seek and you shall find unique locations and subjects to capture and call your own.
