Would you mind posting what equipment you used to photograph this car...

One interesting feature of digital cameras is that they embed information about the picture in the photos they take (Exchangeable Image File Format). If you were to save one Bill's photos on your computer and view it with an image viewer(*) that can display the EXIF info you can get the answer to your question.

Here's some of the EXIF info from one of Bill's photo

Make - OLYMPUS OPTICAL CO.,LTD
Model - C3030Z
ExposureTime - 1/30 seconds
FNumber - 2.80
ISOSpeedRatings - 134
MaxApertureValue - F 2.83
MeteringMode - Multi-segment
LightSource - Auto
Flash - Not fired
FocalLength - 6.60 mm

Some cameras will also record the date and time the picture was taken. And if you have a really fancy camera with a GPS, it can also record the location where the picture was taken.

* I use the free program IrfanView (aka iview32) from www.irfanview.com.
Some programs will delete the EXIF info when they crop (or otherwise modify) digital photos.
