Jeep in a dried lake

Moved to Las Vegas earlier this year, loving life. Here's a shot of my Jeep in one of the several beautiful sights around here.

Nice highlights in it! FWIW, I'd rather see it going into the shot rather than going out of it.

Not quite sure what you mean. The way the wheels are turned? It's stationary (as it's my personal vehicle).

Thanks!

No, the turned wheels are good, & we'd rather see wheels than tires.
Lot's of people do it, & it's not a huge thing, but the image looks better if the Jeep doesn't look like it's moving out of the frame. Look at image #2 of post #4 of the "MOVE YOUR FEET!" link in my Sig.

And a pretty cool one it is!

Chris, here's a quick edit I did of your Jeep I thought I would share. I thought the shot had potential that could be brought out of it.

I checked out the site. So I should sort of flip the vehicle around the other way, and have a more 3/4 angle out of it? (If I'm understanding correctly.)

That's an awesome edit. It's like a wasteland look, I love it! I know virtually nothing about photoshop or editing at all, so this really blows my mind.

Leave the camera positioned where it is at. Back the jeep up so that it is sitting at it's current angle but so that it is closer to the left side of the image...entering the frame, not close to exiting the frame. In your image the front end is closer to the right side (exiting) than the rear-end is to the left side of the frame (entering)...it gives the impression that the jeep is leaving the frame.

I didn't think that the concept would be that difficult. I had a few minutes, so this should help. More room at the front. Maybe less room at the back:

IMHO it would look much better with a little mud and a H2 hummer trailing behind, connected by a nylon strap.

Nicely done.

I love the lake bed here. We were out there doing some sunset shots just after the last big rain, and saw a guy flip his Toyota 4x4 drifting it in the mud.

It is quite beautiful out here. I'm over in Summerlin, girlfriend works in Henderson.

Got to shoot at the dry lake too not long after moving here, I guess it's a bucket list item for all car people here hahaha, mine wasn't with a Jeep though
