Yellow Big Mack anyone?

[RB (Andrew)]

I really must get my act together and process/post some more photos, I've been too slack lately.
This one was taken at the beginning of May on a family outing.

A Mack truck caught my eye so I positioned myself to catch the sunlight just right to illuminate the gorgeous bright yellow body and orange indicator nicely.

Hope you like it.

Great image... what lens/aperture was this taken at? DOF seems very short... adds a nice effect to the image and the colors are fantastic. Its not every day you see a yellow big mack

That was the look I was after, as shallow DOF as possible and yes you don't see them around, this was a show truck.
I used the 70-200mm at 70mm, f/2.8, 100 ISO and 1/1250th sec.

LOL people thought I was a reporter for the local paper.

I get that photo-journalist question every time I head out with my 170-500 sigma.. or BIGma as I like to call it...
