This is a close-up of the hood ornament of a 1952 Pontiac Chieftain automobile. This car was at the Gilmore Car Museum for a car show. I used my 70-300mm (2x crop factor) lens and a small aperture to make sure the background was blurred out. Processing was minimal, although I tried to bring out the head and downplay the color of the car itself.

This is a shot of the front end of a 1939 3/4 Ton Chevy Truck. The truck was part of the 2008 Automotive Hall of Fame Classic Car Show held on the grounds of the Automotive Hall of Fame. The Automotive Hall of Fame is located next to The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. Each year the Hall holds a classic car show centered around a common theme. This year the theme was GM Century – The Men, The Machines.
