Behind The Lens
Location
I drove into a car park in Waltham Abbey, Essex where I was living at the time. I realised the car park was practically empty, so I decided to take a photo. I parked the car "properly" afterwards.Time
This was around lunchtime, sometime between 12:00-14:00 - I had nipped into town for a few items and this carpark was the nearest one.Lighting
It was a fairly overcast day, but also quite bright, if that makes any sense. I am about to upload the colour version, but I actually think this works better in Black and White.Equipment
This was shot on a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, because I had it in my pocket. I didn't go out with the intention of taking a photo of my car - It was a snap decision.Inspiration
I love my car! - So I take pictures of it in various settiings.Editing
Changed from colour to Black & White, that's all. As mentioned earlier, the colour version will be uploaded shortly as well.In my camera bag
If I take my bag out, then I have a Pentax K20, and the following lenses, Prime 50mm, Zoom 35-80, zoom 70-300. I also carry a flash , a tripod and sometimes a monopodFeedback
Keep your eyes open, always check the background. Side-on never looks good, always get an angle
