Making the image happen (1). This yellow car has been standing on a street close to my home for the whole winter. This time I wanted to have a photo which would contrast the rusty, almost abandoned car to the lively traffic around it. I chose a slow shutter speed to create the motion of traffic and then had to wait for a suitable vehicle to pass by. It had to be large (small cars left too much irrelevant background to be visible) and dark. Yes and after some time I got the bus which, I believe, did the job here.
