So this was very impromptu. I was at the grocery store and saw this little van in the toy section and I just couldn't resist it. I arrived home as the sun was setting, blazing through my sitting room window. I noticed the little cactus on the table and knew this would make for a pretty cool snap. I placed the car, played with position and there you have it.Time

Nikon D850 and my Nikkor 70-200m f/2.8 that creates some pretty nice bokehInspiration
The sunlight coming through the lounge windows looked amazing and I just had to create a photo somehow.Editing

Sometimes you have to make your photo work. I staged this one with some cool props and amazing back-light cutesy of the sun and it actually turned into something quite cool, and seems to get a lot more attention than I ever thought it would. There is always a photo but sometimes you have to find it and work for it.
