That is the ONLY thing that stretch of I-40 has goin for it. Ridiculous gas prices, no cities, extremely straight, but some badass sunsets and views of the open sky.

I got a pic of my car taken from Jon's car (veilside01) with a thnderstorm in the distance and sunset beyond, looks badass, but again it's blurry. Need a tripod mounted in car for shots like that, car vibrations will do a number...
and I'd want a camera with one fast as SHIT shutter speed to get that look of a fast moving wheel caught in motion, looks amazing if done right.

and in regards to badass desktop backgrounds, click em' to enlarge;

That wouldn't work either. The car's dash is much bumpier then your hand. You need to set your digital camera to manual (usually the red M with a picture of a camera) and set shutter speed to like 1/300 and raise your aperature to like about 3 so it exposes quicker. Or if you have a quick exposure mode (usually a picture of a dude running) use that.

I've done a picture in a car of another car's wheels, and it stopped them completely. I could even read the wheel size (the tiny little print) and we were going interstate speeds!! I think it was about 1/4000 seconds fing02.gif

Aren't those pictures of remote control models? Either that or somebody made it in CAD?
