The Great Big Non-Drone Photo Thread!

Not my usual photographic subject matter, but I recently shot my friend Derek’s car. This is a composite of 10 separate images. In each the car and camera (tripod mounted) is unmoved, then off camera flash is fired at various parts of the car to light it. Behind the car is off camera flash with a red gel. The first photo was taken at 4 stops under the ambient light exposure without flash to really darken the background. The idea was to make it look more like sunset, though it was shot in broad daylight.

Just returned from the sun setting over Roundway Down, Devizes. Never been there before, what a stunning place. Views are amazing :raised_hands:

Also tried out my new Samyang 135mm f/2 manual focus lens. A few shots below which are straight from the camera, no editing at all.

I’m guessing the one in that photo was this one, spotted a couple weeks ago in the lay-by up the road.
