Behind The Lens

Location

I was on a trip to Old Car City in White Georgia,USA. Old car city is a fun place to visit and a fantastic place for finding something wonderful to capture.

Time

not sure methinks morning but was a while ago.

Lighting

the lighting in this photo moved around the car showing thru the trees. This light I thought showed enough detail in both the light and dark areas plus I really liked the way the light landed on the M and hood ornament,highlighting the steering wheel thru the broken window.

Equipment

this was captured with a Nikon D7000 on a Manfrotto tripod,with a zoom lens, no other equipment was used.

Inspiration

the light... the front of the red car still had a hood ornament, the grill was in good shape as is the rear grill of the blue car. the colors on both cars wasn't chewed or pitted plus all the lights are still unbroken and the trees around them both showed me that they where there a long time.

Editing

Yes in LR I always bring up the colors, sharpened ,adjusted white balance.Removed noise(there wasn't much this was shot at a low iso of 100).

In my camera bag

I have a Nikon D500 body,Nikon 18/300mm,Nikon 40mm macro lens,Nikon 300mm prime,and a Nikon 200/500mm Zoom.I don't use flash,I enjoy working with whatever light I have when I'm in the field.

Feedback

As in real estate location, location . location lol I think to capture anything you find interesting, the day you are out looking for some thing to shoot,you have the chance to shoot something fantastic,with wonderful colors,great light. to me shooting something interesting is always a plus.
