Pic of the Day: The Vein of Beauty

An Orchid's beauty can be found by it's shape, smell and ability to capture the imagination.  This photo was taken with a Canon 5D mark II using a Canon FD 50mm macro F3.5 lens.

Pic of the Day: Proving A Lens

The entire purpose of this photo is to prove how well the Canon EF 28-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS USM lens is.  I still believe this lens is an excellent lens; and is a perfect lens for anyone. The subject of this photo is a Mamiya Sekor 250mm lens.  The lighting used was available light without modifyers.  Which shows LOL. The point of this photo was simply to demonstrate how well you can shoot with the 28-135mm lens.

Pic of the Day: How To Make A Car Look Sexy

 

This is the BMW i8 Concept Spyder.  When I first looked at this photo in Lightroom, I knew exactly what the title would be.  Yes I cropped the photo.  No the light was cropped when I took the photo.  Why? It brought my eye to the blues and blacks of what I saw in the frame.  If I had captured the full width of the light, then the eye wold have been split between the grill and the light.  In my opinion the grill is the focal point of this photo and of what I saw.  Everything line of the car's nose lead to the grill.

So how do you make a car look sexy?  It starts with the car.  If the car doesn't look sexy, then it never will be.  i.e. a Yugo... not sexy.  When I look for the beauty in a car, I look for it's lines.  All of the lines come together to form a shape.  Every car has this shape.  Some are sleek, some are fluid, and some are just not there.  This grill is a perfect example of how you make a car look sexy.  Clean lines, color and form.
