On The Freeway at 70 MPH

Had to go to Portland today for my semi-annual eye exam, to check on the status of a growth in the eye. Fortunately, it has reduced in size a bit. Good news!
On the way, home my eyes were dilated and I sat in the backseat. Shot this picture of a triple through the window at 70 MPH with a little Coolpix 510.

Nikon COOLPIX P510
1/500s f/3.9 at 12.4mm iso360 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

There's only one road in Ohio that allows triples, so we rarely see them. So glad you got good news about your eye!

Trucks that long are just scary!

I love watching trucks, they seem to get longer and longer! Good news about your eye!
Marcia Colelli05-Mar-2013 17:50
Glad you had good news. Even with eyes dilated you would definitely notice this big rig. Nice capture V

Excellent job at 70mph..
Hope the eye keeps improving...

Colorful shot, and excellent job, Vern - especially from the backseat and dilated eyes! I can't even imagine how long it takes one of these to stop from freeway speed! :0

Difficult conditions but a very good shot :^)

Congrats for the good news.Very good shot but I hope not to meet these triples.
Jim Coffman05-Mar-2013 14:18
Triple bottoms are rare around here. Great capture from the back seat and really great news about your eye....

Neat shot, Vern, and good eye news!

Not allowed in Fl! I went to the eye Dr. yesterday. Double vision is improving and eye preassure is good, using drops nightly.

Nice big rig, similar to what my son drives.
Bob Moeller05-Mar-2013 12:22
Is the rig passing the car or visa-versa? Forgot your not in California.
David Sands05-Mar-2013 11:45
they run triples thru Ohio and Indiana all the time. Not sure I think these are safe in hilly areas but on the flats- roll on!

My eye doc wants to Dialate my eyes- I am 42. I am not looking forward to my next exam having to do this.
Buz Kiefer05-Mar-2013 11:17

I wouldn't care to be alongside that chap when he wanted to change lane.
Bea.05-Mar-2013 08:14
Pretty good result with not quite perfect eyesight, talk of allowing these on some our roads!
J Ponces05-Mar-2013 08:03
I've never seen a triple like this before! Beautiful light! Good luck for your eyes! V
