John Sommers' Favorite Trucking Photos
-
It’s always fun to try to make a speaker look more dynamic than simply standing at a podium.
-
I like to use the sun for backlight to give a unique look.
-
I like to give things a different perspective that forces the viewer to truly look into the images and understand them.
-
I like to use slow shutter speeds to give trucks a sense of movement and balance in the framing.
-
I love a fun picture that gives viewers a sense of the event.
-
I like to use different angles to add intrigue. This is from the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky., March 27, 2014.
-
I like the idea of using other elements to show space and texture that give routine images something extra.
-
The details of this PKY Truck Beauty contestant at the 2017 Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky., March 24, 2017, tell you what you're looking at without showing the whole object.
-
I love to shoot sunsets, and this picture gives the viewer a lot to look at in the rail yard of downtown St. Louis.
-
I like this image as it shows a truck's environment and its use along with the nature surrounding it.
-
I like this image’s fun elements, and the message is conveyed clearly for the viewer. From the 39th Annual Mid-America Trucking Show at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Ky., March 24, 2010.
-
I like this one because I used a reflective surface to show people together with a truck at the 2017 Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky., March 24, 2017.
-
I like that this image shows nature adjacent to the truck.
-
I like this image as it shows the truck’s silhouette against the sky and gives the viewer more than just another truck picture.
