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!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Unique

Well, sometimes things just work out.  It happens that one of my assignments last week was to take a photo from a unique angle.  This weekend unique is the theme for the WordPress photo challenge.  So here is my unique photo:

ISO 2500 50mm 0ev f/2.8 1/500

The view of a hockey player getting ready to put on their mask in the locker room.  It took some fiddling with the camera settings to get what I was after here.  I had to handhold the image, so it did have to be a fast shutter speed.  I wanted to blur everything except the cage, so low f-stop. High ISO because the locker room has pretty horrible lighting.

I have a lot of different versions of this on different settings, but this one was the best.

Cheers!
