    rolleyes1.gif Two surprises here. First, from the title I expected to see a pristine 50s Caddy. Then I looked at the shooting data. clap.gif

    I just knew it wouldn't be in 'mint' condition!:D

    Are those stars in the sky? Did you take this at sunrise or sunset?

    Wow...what a beater. And it looks like it's winking and smiling at you. Even a shadow too. I didn't know you could get shadows at 2am :D

    I'm going to have to try this some night.

    Great shot Walter thumb.gif

    Wow! thumb.gif

    I hadn't looked at your daa until it was mentioned, so I had no idea of the time! Great shot: looks like 2:15 in the afternoon!

    Thank you all. The caddy is about as pristine as they get in the Mojave Desert. Usually they are shot up and full of holes. It's pretty light during a full moon. If you spend a couple hours staying away from artificial light sources, the eye can see just about as well as in this shot. It was a nice experiment working on the other end of the technical spectrum I'm used to working with. Typically I like my shots with low iso and small apertures.
