Front Seat Shot

Morning Commuters

I'm doing a little format expirament through flickr. I'm looking for a quicker way of posting and since my flickr stream has been discovered, I might as well embrace it. Consider this a test.

I haven't had a lot of luck shooting out the front windows lately. I do it a lot when I'm traveling but lately my successes have been few and far between. This shot, taken in the morning on my way to the Burundian border, is one of the better shots but still not really cutting it. Maybe it'll grow on me.

Part of the trouble with the windsheild shots is the bouncing of the vehicle on the crappy roads makes is hard to bring the camera to your eye without it smacking into your face. Even if you get it there, it's virtually impossible to hold still to compose. At least the subject matter is interesting. The truck is cool looking and the clouds speak to the early hour.

Make pictures.
