“Land Cruiser Winter Afternoon”

Automotive photography is a passion of mine. Whether it is a street rod, classic car or a 4×4, I enjoy capturing details and including scenic backgrounds when possible.

When we made a family trip this past weekend to the lower Kittitas Valley near Ellensburg, Washington, I couldn’t resist capturing this image of my Toyota Land Cruiser on my cousin’s property.

The snow covered field, the overcast sky, and the hills in the background made for an ideal black and white image.

Camera specs: Nikon D700, Nikon 80-200mm lens at 80mm, F16 @ 1/60 second, ISO 200.

Processed in Adobe LightRoom 3 beta using the Black and White film preset from Make Light Real.

“Winter Day in the Kittitas Valley”
© Steve G. Bisig

Over the past weekend, we met up with my cousin and his family and made a trip to their newly purchased 20 acres in the lower Kittitas Valley just outside Ellensburg, Washington. We couldn’t have asked for a better day (well, maybe more sunshine) with 4 to 6 inches of snow on the ground; non-existent winds, and; temperatures in the upper 30′s. Considering the weather we’ve recently been having in the Seattle area, it was a nice change – dry and cold instead of damp and cold.

I captured this image of the tree, clouds and mountains from where we parked our vehicles. I photographed the tree several times throughout the day, however it wasn’t until later in the afternoon the lighting improved and I captured this image.

Camera specs: Nikon D700, Nikon 80-200mm lens at 200mm, F2.8, /3000 second, ISO 200.

Processing: The RAW image was keyworded in PhotoMechanic and imported and converted to DNG in Adobe LightRoom 3 beta. After some basic adjustments and cropping, I used two Lightroom presets by Seim Effects titled “Super Hero” and “Nature Boy”.
