For all of the photo-buffs, this photo of my Corvette might be interesting.
The camera was mounted onto a very stable tripod, at a low-angle view of the car.
The first shutter opening was just at dusk, followed by approximately 100 shutter openings (some as long as 15 seconds) over a period of two hours, while the photographer walked just outside of the camera view with bright portable lights. This "light painting" is very dramatic as evidenced by the brilliance of the interior which was shot in total darkness with only the photographers lights providing illumination.
Then the photographer spent approximately one hour choosing, manipulating and "layering" the appropriate shots to produce this photograph.
If you are interested in seeing a larger photo, go to MEMBERS, MEMBER SEARCH, and enter Chevykid.
Enjoy

Thanx to everyone who responded with compliments about this photo.  I wish I could take credit for it, but the photographer was my cousin who just recently retired from an amazing career that took him literally every where in the US, photographing for construction companies, contractors, housing developers - well, you get the idea.  Neatest thing of all is that we are not only cousins, but great freinds as well.
