 honestly, i prefer the desatted one, but, coming on the heels of a monster challenge, i thought it would be to risky to try to put my hand in that cookie jar ;-)

i had my camera on a tripod with the top down on my sebring and a remote release. i was driving about 40 mph. i had been driving around two-lane county roads for about 20 minutes before getting this shot (and had probably fired off about 250 frames).


this is pretty much straight out of camera.

i was stopped by a county sheriff's deputy before i even got going on this shoot. i had the top down on the sebring with the camera on a tripod standing above the windshield on the passenger side. i had a remote release on the camera and was gripping the release and the tripod with my right hand. the deputy wanted to know what i was doing...

i told him i was a photographer.

he wanted to know what i was photographing.

i told him the road.

he asked why.

i told him because i am a photographer...
