Best 1/10 sec work I've seen!


Thank you - I really feel like I got lucky with this one. What really gets me is that there are views like this all over the place in scenic parts of the country--these brilliant compositions that exist for only a flash as you fly by on the road. *Blink* and you're past it. I had little idea what I was capturing at the time; I just clicked the shutter, and found this when I came home.

By way of illustration - all the following pictures were taken in succession, pointing the camera pretty much straight out the window -

this picture was taken at 6:56:40 (39mm)
the picture on this page was taken at 6:56:42 (39mm)

So much country is missed when the car wont slow, feeling the pain of my road trip this summer :). I think you did an excellent job of capturing this second in time.
