Washington countryside at 60 MPH

Here are some pictures I took about two weeks ago. All were taken from a moving car on a highway, doing about 60 MPH (don't worry, someone else was driving). Canon D10 28mm lens. Post work includes exposure/shadow adjustment, saturation and contrast.

Comments are much appreciated.

This was definitely the most hair-raising shot to get. How long can you drive in the middle of the road to get the perfect shot?

It's a little depressing that your moving car shots are infinitely better than anything I have taken while standing still. :)

nice shots but maybe you made the sky to blue,,,,could just be my computer. I like the last picture post the best.

You wimp. :evil:


I agree with Jeremy, that road shot (paticularly) rocks. I could totally put it on my wall. It would make a nice desktop too. Hmm...

I like them man.
I like the grain.
I like the last shot the best. Very well done.

But for god-sake, clean your sensor! lol
I can see that same dust mark on the top right quadrant on all the images.

I'm one of those guys that if I see ONE spec... It's the first place I happen to look for all other images. Kind of like in fight club when they point to the "film change" dot on the top right. I notice it on all movies now. Not that I can help it, I just do.

No but seriously, for those who have not encountered dust yet... If you plan on going on a long trip or taking at least 200 images without changing memory out... it's a great idea to take a pic of a plain white paper and see if there's any dust on your lens. The last thing you'd want to do is do a job where 1000 pics have a dot on the sensor somewhere. Because once in awhile you'll turn it upright, zoom in, next thing you know, that dot is lined up somewhere horrible like on an eye or tooth. (which has happened to me) and you don't see it until you print out a bigger image and someone says "what is that?"

well that... and I learned the hard way. Try taking 900 images for Ford... THEN noticing every single one of them has a dust mark. I didn't see it in the display monitor though!
 
Nice shots. Any chance to use that last shot in some web or print materials? I don't have anything in mind, but if I think of something I will let you know.

The shot of white paper is a great idea, simple yet very effective...Nice one!
 
Actually, a better method is to open up a blank page in Microsoft Word,
and, (this is critical) set you aperture to F22 or higher (depending on lens), then shoot your computer
monitor, being sure to have it out of focus as to not mistake dust on the computer monitor, for dust on the sensor.
This will really let you see what's happening with the sensor.
