1996 Ford Mustang Cobra mystic color (green purple) in Ybor City Tampa Florida - Nikon D300 Tamron 17-50mm @ f/8 ISO 200 1/125th complex composite of 7 strobist shotsI returned to an Ybor City location I used some time ago to photograph a Lexus IS F. This time I met a client with a 1996 Ford Mustang Cobra in the rare mystic color that can look green or purple depending on the light. The above shot used a new technique that I tried for the first time involving taking many shots as I walk around the car with a speedlight in a brolly. Then all those shots are blended together into a composite showing the best list portions of each one.
Afternoon clouds over a Mustang Cobra in Ybor City car photography shoot - Nikon D300 Tamron 17-50mm @ f/11 ISO 200 9-exposure HDRFor this shoot the surrounding environment was really included as-is, which meant the dumpster with graffiti was composed in the frame to contrast with the car, the ominous sky and the distant city skyline. Using a 9-exposure HDR composite allows for shooting into the sun like this.

The flag was waving but appears without blur in this HDR image because the final step I took in editing was to mask in a single frame of the flag.

I wondered who would make such an expression in such a place and thus definitely wanted to feature it in the background of some of the shots.
