Objects In The Mirror...
photo by Evan Travers
It was a very rainy day, and we were getting ready to shoot Sloss Furnaces here in Birmingham AL. As we pulled up to the parking lot, and waited for the front gate to be unlocked, the curator of the museum pulled up in an exquisite 1970s Volkswagen Beetle. I took the usual front on shots, and all the other angles, but this was the shot I really loved.
I shot with a Sigma 50mm 1.4, set wide open and with a shutter speed of 1/500. I tweaked the blacks and midtones in aperture, as well as added a vignette and the crop. I feel like this shot really exemplifies the beautiful curves and design that makes the Beetle such a recognizable and wonderful little car.
