Very old truck

[tegan]

Shot at f. 2.8 at 1/8 of a second handheld ISO 400. The lighting was a lot less powerful than it looks. The rest of the truck was in total darkness, which is why I framed the front part. The signs are just decoration.

Tegan - wonderful! I WISH I could hold a camera that still. I wobble all over the place. :(

I have mixed feelings about this one tegan. I think I would have preferred to have seen more of the truck's detailing and less of the environment. For me it's the truck and it's detail that makes the shot interesting and IMO not enough of it is being revealed.

Good steady hand though that's for sure.

Hope that helps,

I think the image would work a lot better as-is, if the modern elements were removed; the fire sprinkler, the over-head spotlight, etc. Nice truck though; IH? Have you tried a mono conversion?

Good point! I thought about that. I guess I should have followed through and removed them. OOPS!

Shooting the environment fits my use for the shot and did not require the permissions that would be necessary to bring in and use a complete lighting kit.

Your point is nevertheless well taken.

Thanks TT. Now with a telephoto it would be considerably more difficult.
