FF11: The Benz

Rolleicord V, Kodak New Portra 400 (shot at 200, pulled one stop), f8 1/125

 

And now, another edition of Failure Friday.

 

I knew the light was bad, I knew that I tend to overdo it on car shots, but I just couldn't resist. I tried to meter for the shadows, but there's only so much you can do when your subject is in shadows and the background is brightly lit, a lesson I should have learned before.

 

(Exacerbating the situation was the fact that the owner of this ride was standing just outside of the frame and we were making each other nervous.)
