This gallery is a complete chronicle of my 40th year, starting on my birthday in 2008. I posted one photo each day for a year. The photo-a-day project continues in this gallery here.
June 24, 2008; Day 53.
The decision to buy an Audi TT back in 2001 boiled down to two factors: it was comfortable and sexy. It’s a dated design now, but it’s still comfortable. I shot it in blue last week (blue from a playful white balance adjustment). So why am I shooting it again? Well, this isn’t my car. If that wasn’t immediately obvious to you, then this image succeeded. If not, the night is still young... :)
To see how I set this up, click here. The scene was an attempt to duplicate a very similar shot I saw on the Strobist blog. There’s so much to learn about light. Here I’m combining a large light source to illuminate the car and a small light source to provide a gradient background.
