Nice! Love the shadowing/contrast in the pic man! 
Ahhh that's why! The nikkor 50/1.4 definitely made a nice rendering? Legacy/manual lens? What camera?thanks! it was totally by accident....I got the "blackout the lights" effect using my Nikkor 50mm 1.4. I actually wasn't expecting it to be so pronounced. I had full sun at my back and there definitely weren't any shadows. Man this car has great curves. It appears I need to straighten the picture out just a bit.
Ha! Looking forward to that man!It's a newer lens. Used my travel camera a Nikon d5000. I used the manual mode.
I'll turn the car around tomorrow and try a front shot. I might open the garage and have the 69 mach 1 just crouching behind itto fill the frame around it. Now that would be quite a menacing shot.
