After several years of never getting around to it I shot a close friend of mine and his wife... just so they could have some photos for themselves and maybe for holiday cards.
He's been restoring a 61 ragtop bug and drove it the 1/4 mile from his house to where we shot. After a half an hour shooting in the park I suggested we use the bug as a backdrop. It's no where near finished, it doesn't have any glass in it (no windshield or anything) with the exception of the small triangle glass in the door and the interior is pretty much gutted. Paint is original, which is a nice way of saying it needs help, and well, he just wanted to drive it down the road.
Here's the result of bug being used, shot on a 5d w/ 24-70 2.8L, 43mm focal distance, f/3.2, 1/800 in AP mode at ISO250, natural lighting with the aid of a 3.5' gold reflector being held for me. Post process in LR.
Comment, critique & questions are welcomed.
