Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken behind my father-in-law's body shop in Vassar, Michigan. He's had this old Ford for years, and I'd always wanted to take a few pictures of it.Time
I took this shot around 5pm.Lighting
The lighting was all natural, with the overcast sky providing nice diffuse light.Equipment
Shot with my tripod-mounted Canon 80D and EF-S 10-18mm zoom at a focal length of 18mm. I used ISO200, f/5.6, and a shutter speed of 1/125s.Inspiration
I'd always liked the look of the front-end of this old Ford truck, and I had some time one day while visiting my father-in-law's place for a family picnic.Editing
Yes, this was post-processed in Luminar 4 to convert to B&W.In my camera bag
I typically carry my Canon 80D with five lenses (Canon 50mm f/1.8, 10-18mm wide angle zoom, 18-55mm zoom, and 55-250mm zoom, and Tokina 100mm macro prime lens). I also have my Haida M10 pro filter holder with a 10-stop ND and 3-stop GND filter and circular polarizer. Of course, I always have my standard accessories like spare batteries, lens hoods, memory cards, etc., and I carry a Godox V860-II speedlight with MagMod Sphere & MagBeam flash modifiers with color gels and gobos.Feedback
My advice is always simple...soak up everything about where you are, and feel the story that starts to reveal itself about your subject and your surroundings. I'm always amazed that eventually a compelling story begins to emerge, and my job then becomes how best to capture that story. Sometimes that's easy to do, sometimes it's damn hard, and sometimes I'm not able to do it at all. It's those times that I just enjoy the story and the moment, and then later it drives me to get better at my craft so in the future I can perhaps succeed.
