Originally posted by mycelium: Image is very strong--well lit, nicely composed, sharp, edgy, and of course sexy. I don't really get the title, though--where does the 'Hell' part come from? Nonetheless a great shot, and I hope to see it in at least the top 10.

You seriously never heard the phrase "Hotter than Hell?" Damn, I must be old. LOL.

That's it! Next year I AM going to migrate!

Drive-By Shooting

At first I thought the car had to be blazing through that tunnel to get that much motion blur in 1/3 second. After estimating distance and doing some math I calculated that the car was going just over 40 mph. Still maybe a bit fast going through a tunnel.

From my perspective I estimated about 20 foot of motion blur in the frame. At 1/3 sec shutter that would be 60 feet in 1 sec and 3600 feet in one minute. I multiplied that by 60 to get the distance in feet covered in one hour at that estimated speed and then did a feet to miles conversion.

1/3 that 20 feet = 60 feet per second
60 feet per second x 60 = 3600 feet per second
3600 x 60 minutes = 216,000 feet in one hour
216000 / 5280 (number of feet in statue mile) = 40.91 MPH

Don't mind me I'm a math geek as well and it's fun! LOL. So is that the speed limit through the tunnel...40 MPH?

BTW, the photo is fantastic and added as a favorite. Congrats on your Blue!

Beautiful scene, but the halo around the mountain tops is distracting.

Well done. The muted tones and composition make this entry shine along with the young boys magnetic smile and personality. 8
