Detail of one of the most intricate (and busiest) freeway juntions in California. I wish I could afford to take a shot from the air!

It's also a bit hard to drive and shoot at the same time, but I was happy enough with the framing I got that I left it uncropped.

Nice image of the intersections but what's the transition?
04/28/2002 05:42:00 PM
i think this would work a lot better if the camera didn't feel tilted to the left and you caught more of the ground below the overpasses. it's a great angle on this interchange, though!

the reflection from the windshield keeps distracting me. It also seems to be tilted a bit.

Good Idea, but if you're going to take time to enter this competition, at least take the time to either get out of the car, or alternatively, just roll down the window. The reflection ruins the shot. Could have been framed better too.

excellent shot -- only glitch is the windshield (?) reflection

It is difficult to get a really good picture from a moving car and this one is somewhat spoiled by the reflections in the windshield. I like the off kilter horizon, it creates imbalance. The composition could be improved simply by cropping the top 53 pixels off to fit the 427 x 640 catagory. The result of that would be to draw the eye into look at the intersecting ramps.

was this taken through your car's windshield? there appears to be a reflection, especially noticable on the bottom-right corner of the photo.
04/24/2002 02:58:00 PM
too much sun flare on the lower right side, is that a reflection from a car window?
04/24/2002 11:11:00 AM
Roll down the window next time you shoot in the car.
04/23/2002 05:26:00 PM
I can see transition in this. There is to much blue sky.
04/23/2002 05:10:00 PM
Lots of swooping, but not really a lot of transition. Probably too much sky as well.
04/23/2002 09:59:00 AM
unwanted reflections from window here.
more transportation than transition I think
04/23/2002 09:07:00 AM
interesting interpretation of transitions
04/23/2002 08:46:00 AM
too much sky, not enough transition
04/22/2002 10:51:00 PM
I tried this myself, never could get what I wanted unless I rented a helicopter ....
04/22/2002 09:09:00 PM
Spaghetti Junction? nice shot!
04/22/2002 08:15:00 PM
looks like this photo was taken through a window, also the transition is not totally apparent or interesting
04/22/2002 04:48:00 PM
Composition could be improved by cropping or changing the angle.
04/22/2002 04:45:00 PM
Welcome to the bay.
04/22/2002 03:35:00 PM
I think it's a good idea.... but perhaps a higher up shot would've been a little better. just my opinion.
04/22/2002 02:11:00 PM
very cool picture, but it looks like it was taken through a window.
04/22/2002 12:55:00 PM
nice title
04/22/2002 12:37:00 PM
Is that through the window of your car? I can see some glare in this image. Would have been cooler if you could actually have stopped somewhere and gotten closer to fill the image with highways.
04/22/2002 12:36:00 PM
good angle, not too sure about the contrast though
04/22/2002 10:56:00 AM
I thought about doing a shot like this but I dint think about doing it from below.
04/22/2002 10:53:00 AM
Which way to go - help! I think a slightly lower angle would've helped, it would've created less sky and put more of the maze that's almost lost at the bottom of the picture into focus.
04/22/2002 10:44:00 AM
Your windshield's dirty = P
04/22/2002 10:07:00 AM
good framing but a not very exciting shot. Get the transition point. Shot from a car ? The reflections are annoying.
04/22/2002 08:07:00 AM
Good interpretation of Transitions, but bad reflections from car window.
04/22/2002 07:09:00 AM
Looks like you're looking out a window. The glare doesn't do much for the image.
04/22/2002 07:00:00 AM
I tried to do this theme myself but couldn't make it work with my camera! Thank goodness I'm getting a new one. Great shot!
04/25/2002 01:33:00 PM
I would have cropped tighter on the lower centre of the shot, where the most crossovers are, plus this would help hide that the shot was taken on the move (eg the banding in the lower right).
