Location
This photograph was taken by myself, while visiting the small, and beautiful artist's town called, Clarens, in the Orange Free State, South Africa.Time
As I turned a corner to go into an art shop, I saw this beautiful old vehicle patiently sitting in the driveway. It reminded me of a grand old dame, who had many romantic stories to tell about her past. She whispered some beautiful stories in my ear ... ;) PS: did you notice the teddy in the back window? This was taken in the wintry sunny afternoon round 15:00.Lighting
I moved around before I got this image, as I wanted to get one part of the front windscreen 'blinded' by the light so that she would look more like a 'blind old grand-dame' with all her rusty marks and discoloured replaced hip (back fender).Equipment
This was shot with a Canon 5D Mark iii - the objective being a Canon (EF24-70mm f2.8L II USM) @ 45 mm / 1/1600 sec @ f2.8 / ISO 200Inspiration
When I saw this 'grand old dame' around the corner of an art studio, it was as if she beckoned me to come closer, she needed to tell me some stories of her youth ... ;) She was known as the Blue Ice QueenEditing
The post-processing was done using LR, upping the presence a little, along with clarity, vibrance and saturation.In my camera bag
I have a large backpack, with two bodies Canon 5D Mark iii, objective EF24-70mm f2.8L II USM and an EF70-200 f2,8L II USM. 6 extra batteries, 18 SD cards, an elastic hip belt, for my batteries and cards, always at hand. Peppermints, iPad, notebook, lens cloths, battery charger, toothpicks, sewing kit, firs-aid kit - both rather small ;)Feedback
When seeing something that catches my eye, I intend to walk around it, if possible, or sit and watch it from different angles and then I let it 'talk' to me, before I start taking pictures. The longer I look, the more detail I see, the more stories are forming in my mushy ol' brain ;) This way I get to love my subject even more ;)
