Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken outside my house featuring my treasure from my teenage years.

Time

I took this just before sunset. My wife and kids thought I was crazy I keep going back out to check the lighting. I wanted to get the perfect golden glow against the rust and red.

Lighting

Waiting for the right light is key. I have several of these at different times of day attempting to draw out the light. The Salt Lake Valley was filled with smoke from wildfires in the area combined with taking it during the evening combined to draw out the golden glow.

Equipment

A Rebel T6 and a Tamron 17-35 2.8 great little combo for those who are saving pennies to buy a full frame!

Inspiration

A lot of my photos come from seeing the subject multiple, in this case millions, of times. I have photographed this particular truck in all types of light with every camera that I have been able to beg, barrow or steal! I knew that the smoke that was in the valley and the sun setting would be the perfect coloring to pull out the old red and rust colors on the truck.

Editing

Not much I bumped up the contrast slightly and cropped out on the left side some unwanted foliage.

In my camera bag

My camera of the time. Two Tamron Lens 75-300mm LD and 17-35mm, two Voigtländer lens from my Bessamatic 35mm and 135mm with adaptors for Canon, and a Canon 18-135mm, a handful of filters, and a tripod.

Feedback

As I previously stated, know the subject! I have seen every inch of this truck, and probably replaced many of the working parts. This combined with waiting for the right light and right conditions. This particular photos was probably image 10 or so from that angle at different times, within 1 hour or so, so multiple shots to chose from to find the best light.
