Working The Scene

Hi Folks,

I hope a happy Christmas was had by all.
I have a car that I am showing today and I have taken these sequence of photos in Fremantle, Western Australia.
The car is a Chevrolet Chevelle and it is from around 1971(the car).
I like the lines of this car as it is curvy and sleek.

Red Chevelle

The first shot above is a overall look of the car. I had to get down low as there were distractions all over the place. I think it also emphasises the car as well. The photo itself is a 3 image hand held hdr shot which explains some of the richness.

With the second shot I moved in a bit closer for a lightly different point of view and to also fill the frame.

A Bit Closer

In hindsight it looks a little to tight but I am just trying to work the scene with different angles and views. The second shot is not an hdr as aren't the others to follow.
I guess I like the simplicity of this car.

The third photo I went right up close and decided the front light looked good with the indicator and the little clip to keep the bonnet in place.

Nice Lines

As you see I really filled the frame and it does not give you room for eye movement. It is all about a different point of view. Is it a good photo? Maybe not but it is all about working the scene. I did not want the normal car shot which is standing height.

The last photo is the back tail lights showcasing the chrome and circular red  stop lights.
Plenty of chrome really makes a car and this one had lovely chrome bumpers.

Love The Chrome

I would have to say that out of the four photos this one is my second favourite with my first being the favourite.
My main thing is to always walk around a subject and keep shooting until you find a scene that really stands out. This day I would have taken about fifteen shots and it has been known for people to take up to sixty photos.

These are My Photographic Observations for now.
