A complete ripoff follows critical acclaim
NIKON D70 - 6 sec, f11 at 18mm
Somewhat to my surprise, my last photo was received to some critical acclaim. I nearly didn't publish it because I thought it was ordinary and "try hard". But there is no accounting for what other people like. I thank those of you that commented for your nice comments.
The problem with posting a good photo is that it's hard to follow up, knowing that you're only as good as your latest work. But today, I say bugger that. I'll just rip off 2 other peoples ideas.
This morning, Seriocomic posted a photo that probably took some daring and risk. I opined in the comments that a tripod would be a good idea (read safer) and offered a link from Flickr as proof.
Tonight while eating my dinner, I thought I would give that shot a crack with a tripod to see what happens. Above is what happened.
Some points to note from that photo
- The red LED at the top of the shot is the Check Control System telling me one of the headlights is out. It was lying!
- The clock reads 20:07. It's also lying as shown below in the time the shot was captured. I still haven't adjusted it from when daylight saving ended.
- The orange light glowing on the dash is telling me the ABS is unhappy. It's not lying. There is real ABS unhappiness going on.
- And finally, that's Gabba's swede in the rear view mirror. Hi Gabba!
Points to note for next time I try this. Clean the windscreen. Use a wider lens. Find a better, more interesting bit of road than Milford. Use Gabba's car that doesn't have all the problems mine has.
