Flank Against the Fence

Flank Against the Fence ::::: 1972 Ford Mustang

1971/’72 Mustang at Paul’s Junkyard.  Until recently this car was hidden behind a pile of 30′ girders.

I focused the camera on the grille and headlights first.  The interior was lit with a green-gelled strobe, the headlights, a natural LED and the red is an LED flashlight reflected off of a white car right behind the camera.  This bounced, indirect-lighting technique gives a much softer quality of light.  Once I got a good light painted image in the camera, I refocused on ∞ and kicked back while the camera banged out three 7-minute exposures.  I stacked ’em all together in Photoshop for 21-minute star trails and 1′ to ∞ depth of field.
