Date: Apr 11, 2008
Aperture: 18
ISO: 50
Shutter: 1/15
Galleries: Action, Fish Eye
Date Uploaded: Apr 11, 2008

cloned a sicker out on the windshield, shadow in the right corner and some dust spots. cropped, added a subtle vignette, and resize and smart sharpen.
this was such an adrenaline rush taking this photo. that road was right there and the car was about 3 or 4 feet away from me, the fish eye makes everything look farther away than it really is. glad the cops didn't see me hanging out the back of that truck. cant afford a ticket at the moment ;-)
estimated score 6.3
dream score 7.1

Really awesome perspective, love the fisheye, great color and motion blur is awesome too. I think this score should've been closer to your dream score imo.

Ohmigosh - you are certifiable! I really didn't think about it until I read your comments that you were THAT CLOSE to that car! The car's driver is nuts, too, by the way. Great energy to this shot!

Awesome shot. Like the wide angle and the blur and the bright Red and the centred comp. All good.

Really cool image and idea! Love the star on the logo as a finishing touch! I get the sensation of moving, too!

nice panned action and interesting photo using a wide angle lens. my nit picks would be I'd like to see this later in the day, and it would be nice to see detail in the driver's face, although that is probably pretty tough to control. 8 from me.

I hope you weren't driving while you took this picture. Nice work, It takes skill and planning or a lot luck to get the right combination of speed (shutter and MPH) Now you have to do it over without the shadow on her face.

Lovely tonal range on this shot. fabulous action shot, very clean, the colours just make it pop, not over sharpend, and an interesting shot well done

Nice colour and sense of motion!

Very nice. I love to blurring all around the car. A more photo-genic backdrop, trees or hedges maybe, rather than the houses and powerlines would have added more of a wow factor.

Wow this pops! I almost feel as if I should get out of the way, LOL. Love the bright, bold colours.
