MOPAR Custom

Another salvage yard custom, it’s some kind of late 50s Chrysler product (edit: probably a ’59 Desoto).  This whale is parked by the old barn/workshop at the Big M.  Nosed, decked, roll panned, frenched, but painted rattle-can flat black and never finished.  I’m sure this car will one day be completed by a new owner.

The camera was sitting right on the ground, the lens resting on a piece of wood, pointed almost straight up.  The car and ground were shot with a relatively short exposure and lit with natural and red LED flashlights (the red, just a slight, subtle bounce). The startrails and barn are comprised of two 4-minute exposures.  It was all composited together in Photoshop.
