In September I was asked to shoot a car for Mopar Action, an auto enthusiast pub, in Boyne Mountain, Michigan, an “up North” resort town. Normally I would try to wrap the shoot as quickly as possible, traveling alone and spending minimal time on location, but this looked like an opportunity for a mini vacation, and being post labor day, off season rates would be in effect. So I took my lady friend and my son with me and booked a room for a couple of days at a time share condo on Lake Charlevoix. It proved to be a nice trip, and, more importantly, having two extra sets of hands to help with the shoot was excellent. I’m spoiled. We shot a bunch of looks for the article and a few for the cover. The magazine was just published, and I’m pleased.
Here’s the cover: https://www.photo.net/photo/18511271/February-2019-Cover This is my original. Pentax K-1 plus D FA 150-450, f5.6, 1/160th, ISO 200, tripod, remote shutter and mirror up. You can see it differs minimally from the final version for which the magazine art director brightened the nose a bit and cropped the image very tight: https://www.photo.net/photo/18511270/My-Original-Image And here’s my lady friend, Charmaine, lighting the font of the car with a reflector: https://www.photo.net/photo/18511269/Light-it-Up -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
