Something that I was thinking about when I created this image was framing:
ISO 100 50mm 0ev f/2 1/250
I wanted the car to be the focus of the picture, but I wanted to present it in a different way because you have seen a lot of car pictures I am sure. Capturing the car in the mirror, was also a way to get a shot of the car and its surroundings. The surroundings are industrial but beautiful in their own stark way.
What do you think, do you find this composition interesting? What are some ways that you have photographed ordinary subjects in unique ways? Leave a comment. If you have a blog post with an example, feel free to leave a link to that as well.
Cheers!

My Dad owns a car garage, this is a good idea to make his advertising photos a bit more interesting 😀

I agree. I have been thinking about how to take an interesting photo of this scene for awhile. Just one of those everyday scenes, they can be the toughest to present in a creative way.

Cool! I’m not photographer but I think the shapes and colours within the photo work well. And now I want to know what on earth the big ‘blackboard’ thing is… 😉

It is part of a workstation, keeps track of all that is coming and going. That car is pretty much neither coming or going 🙂

I like the composition. It’s more interesting than a simple car photo. Here’s a link to a photo I posted for the weekly challenge in August. It’s a shot with a rearview mirror–> http://motherwifestudentworker.wordpress.com/2012/08/24/weekly-photo-challenge-urban/
