Last day on vacation

Roar!!!

Today is our last day on vacation.  We had a great time in Montana.  It really felt good getting "home" again.  We ate a lot a good food, took the boy to the hot-springs for some swimming, we went to the dinosaur museum, and I got to show him the mountains.  We bumped into an old friend of mine from high school downtown.  We met up later and got caught up with the past.  Goodbye Bozeman, we had a great time

We then spent our last day in Billings with my wife's grandparents.  They are both in their upper 80's but still very healthy.  We got there in the late afternoon.  As we talked in there living room her grandfather and I began talking about cars.  He has a couple of old Studebakers in his garage that he is very proud of.  On is from the 20's and the other is from the 40's both still work and are in great condition.  I was looking outside at the late day sun and decided that we should do a photoshoot.  Grandpa thought it was a good idea and started to warm up the car.  We picked a location close to their house as it was getting late and we only had 30 minutes or so before the sun was going to set.  I grabbed my gear and set up the lights.  The sky became brilliant with orange yellow and red.  I think at first grandpa thought I was nuts but after showing him what I was working on and he got excited.  The sun went down and we wrapped up the shoot.  I put the pics in the computer and stayed up late editing.  In the morning he saw the results and was elated.  I've wanted to photograph his cars for quite a while now and it felt good to get one off the list.
This was a good finish to a great vacation.  The photos below are the results of the shoot.  Enjoy
