Btw, does the name white2rabbit have a connection with Jefferson Airplane?

What do you mean by the lighting on the shadow side? Just curious.

And nope, never heard of Jefferson Airplane. It was just an online nickname I came up with like 20 years ago after watching The Matrix as a young kid

The passenger side appears to be on the shadow side of the sun, yet body lines and wheel details are visible and subtle. Usually those would be dark unless there's a light source on the camera or camera left. I just thought it was a very well lit image. Cameras are so sophisticated these days perhaps it took two exposures and combined them. When I was doing it, that image would take some effort.

Re: Jefferson Airplane, I'm dating myself, but they were a rock band from the late 60's and 70's (think drug era). As time went on they became Jefferson Starship and Starship. I think half of the original members are dead.

Ahh gotcha. I think it was just a combination of the settings...I was shooting manual, handheld with my D750, so just a single shot. Could also be some of the post-processing. On that note though, I'm amazed at home advanced the computational photography with iPhone has gotten.
