The Right LightsTo shoot at minimum aperture for the kind of generous depth of field Joe Abraham produced for this photo of a cherry-red 1957 Chevy Bel-Air, you need a lot of light. Both the grill and the hanging dice are in sharp focus because Abraham's main, background, and accent strobes (all Speedotrons) pumped out enough light to allow the use of a small aperture.
