Location
Photo was taken at annual Mentor on the lake, Ohio Roar At The Shore (RATS) cruise-inTime
Family attended RATS mid-afternoon. A cloudless sunny day.Lighting
Bright sunshine on a summer day.Equipment
Canon 6D with Canon 24-105mm f/4 L lens.Inspiration
Classic, well maintained automobiles with a lot of character and Chrome. Modern vehicles have no iconic flair or any notable/memorable style. All one needs to see is this hood ornament and know the make & model of the car.Editing
Applied B/W preset in Lightroom, adjusted the contrast and black point.In my camera bag
Canon 6D, Canon 24-105mm f/4 and Sigma 85mm f/1.4 Art lens. Circular Polarizers.Feedback
Early Afternoon to sunset so you get some nice angles to the shadows . Also when the sun is high in the sky, and humidity is low, rotate the circular polarizer to make the sky a deep cobalt blue, make the reflections on windows less apparent, and add saturation to your colors. When the flip to B/W is made, the contrast makes the composition pop.
