Behind The Lens

Location

This picture was taken on the parking of my appartement building. There are multiple cars of different people, and the GTV in this picture doesn't come a lot, only when they come here for vacation

Time

By the looks of it, i think it would be around midday, because i remember i saw it drive onto the parking and i thought it would be terrible to shoot it against the sunlight

Lighting

Luckily i could ask its owner to change its car's position, so i could play with the sunlight, as it reflects really amazing on the edges of the doors and the roof

Equipment

I actualy used only my mobile phone. It's an Alcatel 5059D. I didn't came prepared for shooting this GTV, as it's owner didn't have a lot of time.

Inspiration

When the GTV entered the parking i was in love right away. I'm a sucker for beauty, and this car is gorgeous. I knew i didn't have a lot of time, so i just asked the owner for some quick shots

Editing

I took the picture in color, then just ajust some lesser brightness with some extra contrast, then i change the Lux to full and faded the colors out.

In my camera bag

As a beginner in photography i don't have a lot of gear. I actualy started less then a year ago with mobile photography. I used only my Alcatel 5059D, now i got n Canon Eos 400D as a gift. It got the standard 18-55mm lens... I'll just be sure all my battery packs are charged and i have extra memory cards with me... What can i say? I'm just starting...

Feedback

Just go out there and shoot! If something is not possible... Improvise!! For me with my mobile, it actualy was a terrible moment for a great picture, cause of the midday sun, but as i asked the owner to reposition his car, the sun did wonders to my capture.
