Favor for a friend.

[Ron Evers]

A friend in the Gaspe enjoys restoring old vehicles & asked me to shoot his most resent work for him. We took it up the road from his house to an area uncluttered by buildings for the shoot.

Beautiful! The photos and the restoration...I love the classics!

Nice wheels!

Very nice job, Ron. Both the truck and the photography. However, I'm thinking that perhaps a more overcast day may be more suitable for this so that the shadows aren't as strong. Many of the commercial car shots seem to be done at dusk, with the open sky acting as a very large softbox. I don't have much practical experience shooting cars or trucks, but when doing "reverse-engineering" of the light of these types of commercials, that is common feature.

Nice set!

Good set. and a remarkable-looking truck. I like #1 a lot, but I think I'd have liked it better if you'd been in front of the underbrush in the foreground. Other than light conditions (as always), setting is important for these shots. The fall foliage always looks great for cars, but for this old truck, I think it would've been outstanding to find an old barn or rusty farm machinery to sit next to.

Very nice job on the detail shots - the interior is well-lit without blowing out the scenery outside the windows, and the bed and engine bay are very nice, too -- that engine is a hoot! I like the shot of the owner, too -- he'll treasure that for a long time.

It was overcast all day until we were ready to shoot & the damn sun came out. I think I said some bad words.

Ah. Nature was testing you. In which case... you did just fine.

Cool; I love the bed of that truck!

 

[snerd]

Cool truck pics! Notice how we could just climb under the hood and have all the room in the world?! I miss the old, big autos. <snif>

 

[snowbear]

Beautiful shots of a beautiful truck. Well done to both of you.

 

[annamaria]

Nice shots. Love the truck bed.

 

[tirediron]

Good job Ron!

Truck looks well-restored. The engine compartment is a breath of fresh air, and I love the wood inset bed. I bet he will appreciate the photos.
