Framing a Photo

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!

Travel Theme: Transportation

I couldn’t resist dragging this photo out of my albums when I saw that transportation was the theme this week at Where’s my backpack?

ISO 400 4mm 0ev f/2.7 1/80

Recognize this car?  It the same type of car driven by the father in the movie A Christmas Story and is on display at the house which is now a tourist trap.  A great place to visit, if you have the chance, I have blogged about it before. Never heard of the movie? Check here for details and then do yourself a holiday favor and watch it.

Cheers!
