I'm back after a day off... yesterday's very early morning shoot finished me for the day... that's just the reality now: energy levels are diminished as age catches up to me. But I'm grateful for just being able to continue doing this!
Two final shots to close out the current set of old Pontiac images. This is a small section of the inner part of the front right fender. The biggest problem in doing these ultra close ups is that most of the surfaces are not flat: they're dented, bent, or curved. So even at f/16, 22, or 32, depth of field can be an issue.
I used a tripod for all these shots, of course. And locked up the mirror of my DSLR prior to exposure, to reduce or eliminate any blur from camera shake. (Yes, I have one of those old-fangled DSLRs with a mirror. I know the world has gone mirrorless, but I love my two Nikon D850 bodies and am loathe to give them up.)
One more shot to come. Tomorrow. I hope.
