Sometimes you need to get really close. OK, not quite this close, I suppose but it’s always a good idea to fill the frame. Don’t you just hate it when someone takes a photo of you and you ar e merely a dot in the middle of some nondescript field?
This image was shot from really close. I used the 15mm fisheye and I think the camera was about 3 inches from the bumper of the car, a 1929 Duesenberg Model J Bohman & Schwartz at Dick’s Classic Garage.
Nice capture! So crisp and sharp! Love the color of that car. Is that your leg reflecting off of the fender?
Thanks, Rick. The reflection is actually one of the tripod legs. For most of these shots, I used the intervalometer to shoot the brackets and ran away immediately after starting it so that I wouldn’t appear in the reflection. I have about a couple of seconds between starting the timer and the first exposure firing and that’s usually enough time to dive for cover.
This one is fantastic Dave. I’m a sucker for the classic car shots.
