Beetle. I couldn't resist the colour contrast as I set out for a walk one evening. Ouch! The old VW 'Beetle' really is about that colour (nice paint job) and the last traces of light in the sky above emphasise the shine of the paintwork against the shadowed road and houses. Well, the brightness range between the car and the sunset was far too wide for a digital camera so it's actually two (hand-held) exposures combined.

Technical: Nikon D100, 28-85 lens @ 28mm, 1/30sec and 1/160sec at f/8, ISO200
