 the shadow is my car, I was taking shots while driving, thought I'd give it a whirl...

(BTW, this is a P&S shot, not through the EVF, I'd get sick for sure, and would feel pretty damned stupid if I had a crash or something...yikes!!)


2 songs go through my head when I see this image:
Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car"
and Prince "Little Red Corvette"

Good title. The tune was in my head before I even saw the title. I do the point and click thing too while driving, but usually at high shutter speed to get sharp images with blur in the foreground.

That fast car is moving. I generally use my point & shoot for this. Or I don't look through the finder I just point and click. Nice image shows a lot of speed.

i like the colours and sense of movement .. i've done a bit'v photography while driving .. havent for a while after getting a fright .. it involved wandering onto the wrong side of the road and thinking that the approaching car was a long way off .. the 18mm wide angle contributed to my error ... the other driver gave me the finger .. it was a country road and i was going very slowly so there wasnt any real danger .. i know a few other ppl in dpc who carry out this dangerous pass-time .. i'm often a passenger now just so i can continue to use my camera while travelling .. i dont think i'd be able to withstand the urge if i was by myself and just had to take a photograph tho .. so join the club !! .. not dpc but ddc ... thats dangerous drivers club .. or dangerous drongos club .. drongos means idiots in australian .. !!! .. lol ..
ps ... and no i dont need to lure katee with treats .. she's the best and most intelligent dog ever, and of course i'm totally biased .. but i reckon she knows when i'm taking her picture .. i think she's a real poser .. lucky me!!! :)
