NEED FOR SPEED - I CAN'T DRIVE 55!

Somewhere on Interstate 45

I took the speed up to 85mph and took the shot...didn't go this fast the whole way...knocked it down to 75 but I wanted to get to my destination quickly but didn't want to get a ticket or have to fill my tank again. LOL!

I let the camera automatically focus and just shot with one hand while watching the road with the other hand on the wheel..,,not any worse than driving holding a cup of coffee. The steering wheel got into the shot but the curved area on top pretty much balanced the shot. Kids....don't try this...leave it up to experienced idiots like me.

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
1/60s f/5.6 at 85.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Gee! You are a menace ... worse than me. :) Rare shot thought. Hope no cops doing pad!

Brave shot! I would have been fumbling all over trying to focus! I am sure a few passing drivers must have wondered what you were doing :)

The hard part here is the manual focusing ;-)

Dare devil, Cindi! I salute you having the guts to shoot while driving at this speed. :D Cheers!

And you are playing with your camera! Vote

The cost of fuel has slowed my urgency, no doubt about it. I am sure that this was a simulation, as big brother is always watching.

Gotta love that need for speed, but did you have to do it one handed? :-)
Harrison05-Oct-2008 20:16
85 in Texas? I thought that was how fast kids drove their tricycles down there. ;) Just kidding, Nice shot Cindi. :)
JW05-Oct-2008 20:10
Looks like you were in a high gear, Girl!

Note to young drivers: do not try this at home!!
Bill Ewart Jr05-Oct-2008 19:38
Driving this fast and taking pix don't mix.
Haven't you heard that expression, DON'T SHOOT & DRIVE?
Excellent shot though! V
Mairéad05-Oct-2008 19:30
Multi-tasking?
Faye White05-Oct-2008 19:12
