Antique Truck Show at the BC Forest Discovery Centre

Antique Vehicle Shows have a plethora of interesting details and shiny vehicles to photograph. I had my fun as my workplace hosted a truck show over the past two days. Even though the sun was out in full force, I got some great shots by using the sunlight and reflections to my advantage!

Seat back on Duncan's First Fire Truck - The Reflection of the truck red paint, and the next truck over's blue paint - made for an interesting combo of reflected warm and cool colours. The detailing and textured seat picked up the colours well and mingled them together well.

Mirror reflection from a Fargo Pickup Truck. I love this one. This is the first time I have played with mirrors - I really like its distortion and view it gives of the surrounding area. The part of the truck visible on the right hand side really anchors the shot.

Samson, the 101 year old Steam Locomotive - Of course I had to get a shot of this guy!

Diamond T Logging Truck - a good example of depth of field here. This symbol is one of the most recognized aspects of a diamond t model, and I isolated it against the blurred figure of the rest of the truck.

Chains on Logging Truck - I isolated these from the rest of the truck. They were in a large swath of shadow, so I wasn't worried about exposue issues, and the truck in the background was far enough away that it wasnt a light or focus problem.
