Chevrolet Camaro SS

We were fortunate to recently photograph this Chevrolet Camaro SS and this was one of our "must-have" shots.  The location was previously scouted because we needed a road with little traffic, a background with little clutter and a slight hill.  This last requirement allowed us to get the camera low enough to see the road drop away behind and underneath the car.
The sun was to the camera's right and very low, partially hidden by light clouds.  This gave us soft lighting with no harsh reflections.  We tried turning on the headlights but at this low angle the the lights were too intense.  The parking lights were left on and they add a subtle accent.
We chose the 400mm lens to give us some compression of the car and to blur the background.  1/400 second at f/5.6, ISO 320.
