Cadillac Ranch






About a year ago I heard of a collection of old cars in Southwest Virginia.   It turns out the owner at one point was in the business of auto restoration.  At the time of my visit he was looking for a buyer.  There were at least 40 or 50 cars in this collection but they were packed tightly together and this limited my particular style of photography.   As I recall many of the cars were old Cadillacs and Buicks, thus the name for this post. 

As in most of my night photography, this shot is a composite.  I lit the interior of each car first and then worked the scene with light.
