So I'm visiting Dayton, Oh for Thanksgiving and discovered that they have a Packard Museum. They have about 40 of these beautiful cars, and hardly any visitors (~15 per day). So I had plenty of time, no crowds, and I could use a tripod. Next on my list for this trip is the Wright-Patterson Air Force museum.

Wow. I'm guessing you had some pretty lengthy exposure times to get that "glow". They almost look like paintings. Nice work.

Thanks, the exposures were about 20 seconds. Without putting flashes all around, I had to use a bit of HDR to see into the shadows to show the true beauty of these cars. Fortunately for me, the museum was virtually empty. So I had time to do whatever I wanted.
