[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 345196, member: 16749"] [b]Re: Weekly challenge aug 13 -20[/b] This is actually a recreation of a photograph I took some time ago. This time, because my wife had the car, and I had to wait for her to get home from work with it, it was dark when I took the picture, which seems to have made for a more dramatic effect than the previous picture on which this one is based. This was taken using [URL="http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Vivitar_85-205mm_f/3.8_Zoom#Version_4_Auto_Fixed_Mount"]a late 1960s or early 1970s vintage Vivitar 85-205mm ƒ3.8 zoom lens[/URL], mounted on my D3200. I had the focal length set to about 105mm. 30-second exposure at ƒ3.8, ISO 100. We think of our cars as tame, domesticated creatures. This picture is intended to convey a sense of a wild car, in its natural jungle habitat—a fierce predator, lying in wait, to pounce on its prey. [ATTACH=CONFIG]107753._xfImport[/ATTACH] My wife says she likes the earlier picture better—something to do with focus. I had to correct her; this is a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Contour"]Contour[/URL], not a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Focus"]Focus[/URL].
