Classic Custom Van Photography at Madeira Beach Car Show 2013 - Nikon D300 Tamron 17-50mm @ f/11 ISO 200 9-exposure HDR digital background
I went to the Maderia Beach Classic Car Show this past Sunday on a cold and blustery afternoon. Apparently custom car owners do not much like that type of weather as there were only 8 cars there total! Of those only one really caught my eye, a custom van that with the hood open, looked like the roaring mouth of a dragon or vulture or similar creature. I wanted to make a shot to accentuate that feature of the car. As is often the case at car shows, the background was not great and there was only a tight space to shoot in. So even as I was making the shot that cold afternoon I was already thinking I about how I wanted to edit the shot and I knew I would just remove the background.
The graphic below shows what a single exposure would have looked like, a 9-exposure HDR, then the final image with all edits and digital background added.
