Photography Knows No Bounds

It's been more than three months since I last wrote a post on this blog. Since then, a lot has happened, but I only have a few hundred photos to prove it. Let's start from midway through February of this year, on a very cold and frosty morning. It was pretty close to freezing outside, if not colder. I woke up that morning and was greeted by the sight of optimum photo lighting (mostly - the sun's angle couldn't be helped) and some remarkably picturesque conditions to boot. Naturally, given the title of this post, I got out my camera and coat and went outside.

I find that, when taking detailed pictures of a car, there are certain angles that tend to work well. Headlights, taillights, and badges are all good focal points for nabbing some so-called "money shots" (more on this in a future post). Ample evidence of this can be seen in the gallery below.

 (I'm told that this shot "made even the van look good". My ego doesn't need stroked any more than it already is, but I enjoy that all the same.)

These photos were taken on February 18. It's March 24 as I write this, and we have an early spring this year, so it's much warmer now than it was when these pictures were taken. As such, I probably won't be able to do any more of this exact type of work right now, but "when one door is closed, another opens" and all that. Warm weather means no more shots like this one:

And more like this:

By the way, those two shots are from pretty much the same location.

And, because I'm just terrible like this, you get a teaser for Part 2:

Muahahaha... stay tuned!
