I can look later, but I'm sure it was close to 250mm. I shot some pics
at slightly less focal length to avoid having to kneel or lay on sharp
little rocks and the like, but most were at 250.

Very nice capture Paul.
Do you recall what the focal length was?
I'd prefer a little more OOF background, but still very nice as is.

Subject: PESO: A Million Dollar Maybe
I shot this car at a show in Ohio. I was camped out at a nearby
airport, and the magazine editor sent the cars to me that he
wanted shot. This one arrived in a trailer, and I had to shoot it
under heavy clouds with intermittent drizzle. We had just wiped
some raindrops off of it here. The car is a 1971 Barracuda with a
426 cid hemi and four speed. It's 100% numbers matching, fully
documented from the day it was born and a 99 point + rotisserie
restoration. While these cars were fun, they were cheaply made and
twisted like a pretzel under acceleration. But there nostalgia
pieces. The last one this nice to be sold at auction went for more
than a million dollars. This car should bring close to that if
sold, although I think the present owner intends to keep it. The
original owner sold it several years after he had purchased it for
$1500.
