Passing Lane


Truck passing by at 70 miles per hour, (113 kilometers per hour) on highway 10 heading into St. Cloud, MN. HDR image taken through a dirty windshield.

    Nice one Rob, not too saccharin allowing the great quality of the light to show.

    Compositionally, I like the way the red of the truck is balanced by the red of the car in front. The diagonal lead-in lines of the trailer give it a dynamic feel and the sky is gorgeous.

    I can't see any sign of a dirty windshield so I guess you were able to clean that up in the digital darkroom?

    A great shot. Nice!

    Nice special effect - working this photo was a long shot, and it paid off!

    The speed report is one thing, but I really like this photo, for its composition, the colours, the clouds... Just perfect! :-)

    This is very impressive! Your shutter speed must have been very fast.

    The colors are amazing. I love what you do with HDR.
    I know this drive like the back of my hand. Is that clearwater coming up on the left?

    The reds against the ominous looking clouds is awesome. Great work on this one.

    Tricky... HDR in a moving vehicle of moving vehicles... Master!

    Really good use of HDR but I hope you didn't take this while driving. Now that I think of it, that would be really tough to do from a moving car unless you used Photomatix on a single image.

    Very impressive...how did you get three pics in rapid succession at different exposures?

    Actually, this was from a single "RAW" photo. In Lightroom, I created and saved 3 files by changing the exposure value; -1, 0, +1. Then in Photomatix, I generated an HDR from these 3 images I created from 1 photo. Continued post processing in Photoshop Elements.

    I can't believe you took that through a dirty windshield. It is a marvelous photo. Do you need a special camera or film to do HDR?
