Hemming's post-shoot report

[Gwendolyn Ann Smith <gwen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ya'll,

It was a long, long day, and I am soon to hit the bed (hard) but yes, the 
Hemmings' photo shoot went swimmingly. 

The day comprised of "rolling shots" (the cars traveling down the road, 
while being shot from a "chase car), "details shots" (close-ups of chrome 
doodads, special features, etc), "beauty shots" (the "automobile 
centerfold," if you will), and a "driving impression" (the photographer 
drives your car around for a while).

It was about six hours, all told, involving both Little Car and a 1961 
Rambler Classic.  I can't wait to see the photos that the Hemmings' 
photographer too -- not to mention actually seeing my Little Car in a 
magazine!

Of course, you wouldn't expect me to go to a photo shoot of my car 
without taking a couple quick pix for myself, now would you?

Here's that 1961.  Most of the "beauty" shots were done at sundown. This 
shows just how long of a day we had, given that we started this process 
just after 1:00 p.m.

Here's Little Car, getting shot by Jeff, the Hemmings Motor News 
photographer...

...and here's the sort of photo he was taking.  The lighting is weird in 
this one due to the time of day.

Finally, here's a sunset shot I composed, purely for myself.

The last one is the sort of shot I've wanted to take of Little Car for a 
very, very long time.  Just at sunset, with the chrome gleaming.  I must 
admit some pride in seeing a lot of hard work -- both this week and in 
the last four years -- represented in this one nice shot.

And now... bed.

Cheers,
Gwen Smith
