1929 Duesenberg
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?

Sorry, I meant to say …reflecting off of the bumper?

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.
