The National Transportation Museum outside St Louis has in its museum this vintage Dodge convertible. It's displayed in a mock diner, complete with red and turquoise neon lights flashing up and down a pillar. I wanted to capture as many of the lights on the hood as possible; the twinkles on the chrome (and the curving trail of light behind one of the jet-age hood ornaments) were a bonus.
Canon Rebel w/50mm prime lens; 1/5 sec @ f/13, ISO 1600 (max for the camera).
If I were going to do this differently, I'd request permission to bring in a tripod (and probably pay $10 "professionals" fee for the privilege), and get lower down on the grille rather than wasting real estate on the blank expanse of bonnet. To print it, I'll at least crop it tighter.
