Challenge: Free Study 2008-07 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM for Canon

 Went to france at the start of the month and on the drive down, we went via Millau and the massive bridge which spans a rather wide gorge. After stopping at the viewpoint and taking some photos from there we went on to cross the bridge to get where we were going. I leant out of the passenger window (UK right hand drive car) and snapped a few of us going over. My camera strap was wrapped around my wrist tightly so that even if i did let go of it it wouldnt fall...
Apart from that it was just a click and hope - took about 20 in the time it took to cross the bridge (30D buffer stopped me taking more) and was amazed when this one came up.

Thanks for the votes - i am on course for getting my FSM average above 6 :)

Nice angle to take the image from. I hope you were well secured to the vehicle!!

Interesting work
This is so clean and crisp that it's almost surreal, the look of a CAD-image.
The angle really makes the image dynamic - and original. Not obvious to get an original capture of this place. And perhaps still less obvious to get no other car in the picture !

Looks almost like vector graphics, rather than a photograph. Very effective, and clever.
