Nice picture, like the contrast & just enough foreground focus. What did you take it on?

Thanks. Taken on a Canon EOS 5D Mkii with an EF 24-70 f/2.8L lens on. Tripod mounted on the car and road, cropped to get just the bits of the engine I wanted.

Tripod on road and car, like it. Thought it was an inside shot from the lighting, any flash? Looks like a really simple composition, just gives the viewer a glimpse of what lies beneath. Nice work, oh & not a bad camera either.

No flash. My preference is natural light. I just invested in a couple of flashguns to try some studio stuff and other lighting effects.

Setting up the tripod made a few passers by stop and stare :)
