MSP unveils assisted suicide bill?

 

[Viewfinder]

Link seems to be for BBC Scotland's default news page, so I'm guessing it will change everyday...

Nice Image and very cleverly done. Congrats on getting it on the BBC website.

This is the link direct to the picture:

Look for the bit that says "Scotland's Big Picture".



Viewfinder - yes it's a daily thing

 

[joescrivens]

ah yes, good job, shame some of the car is out of focus but what can you do in a moving car eh?

perhaps a gorrilapod might have been able to be a little sturdier than a tripod?

 

[bobiscuit]

It was indeed a Gorillapod, with image stabiliser on and a flash to "freeze" the interior.

Still, it was a 30 second exposure so that's as sharp as it's gonna get

 

[Viewfinder]

Nice effect that. I did wonder if it would be good to take a stationary image of the car and create a composite from both. Maybe that's cheating - or another way of saying it's hdr-esque art!

it won't be in focus, it's a mondeo :bonk:

well done

You make the car pin sharp it would be dull and not look like it was moving - the whole essence of this photograph is that it has movement!!

Really well done on getting the photo up on the BBC site. I always have a little look at these pics each day. Nice one.

The gorillapod slr zoom works well, i took this the other day with the gorillapod "clamped" to the passenger headrest!

used flash to freeze me and the interior and a longer exposure to capture the trails, just remember to close your eyes when the flash goes off

This is in b+w as it was part of a submission for a course i'm doing at the moment

Oh and well done as well getting it online, best i've done so far is a charity fun run for a local radio station!

Careful what you say, if I remember it right this forun was created by folk on a mondeo owners forum.

Or was it a ford owners forum.

Anyhow, you're probably a marked man now. Be afraid.

Nice shot and nice Alfa ...

Someone piled into the back of my 156 at a red light in November and it was a write-off ...

i've had 2 156's written off by people driving into me, must be a jealousy thing

This could get awfully boring, but...

I am Scotland's Big Picture again .

Not only that, I have another picture on the weekly "Your Pictures" gallery in the Scotland section. Two in one day.

[chris321]

I clicked the first link and just got a headline of "Rapist murdered mother and girl"

Read the rest of the links now though and my mind is at ease

 

[bobiscuit]

Yes I really must find a better way to phrase it, when the "big picture" on the Scotland page is of that!

You may notice that this time I gave a link directly to the pic

 

[mrtoad]

weel done laddie

 

[Sparkles33]

Focus and motion blur aren't quite the same thing.
