In Honor Of Montrose1100


Recommended Posts

while at first i thought he was crazy, i have grown to enjoy Driving While Taking Pictures (DWTP). the thrill of having both arms out the window, steering with your left knee, and while pushing the brake/gas with the right foot.

all while people look at you like you are some kind of nut :wacko:

until i get a ticket, a wreck, or dismemberment, i will occasionally update this thread with my daredevil acts.

here's to montrose1100 :)

I love salmon pink sunsets. I will always live in Texas. Are you originally from Texas editor?

I love Texas very much! Was born and raised here but havent always lived here. Spent time in other parts of our country, but all the time, was thinking of ways to get back to Texas and Houston in particular. Things went my way and i am home again!!!!!!

Ahh, there's plenty of places to stop... lots of the great downtown pictures you see are taken from the rooftops of other buildings... and I would guess most of the modern ones are photoshopped to remove undesirable objects from the frame.

I guess I can't say much...... I took this one out the window... though, I was a passenger and I was just fiddling with the camera. Would have been an amazing shot if we'd pulled over and I spent a bit more time on it. This was March 2005, through a car window (sorry about the reflection) and the camera is a Konica Minolta DiMage A200 (recently replaced with a Canon Rebel XTi):

It's really not. Perhaps the Pentax K1000 isn't as commonly used now, but the best pictures still come from SLR cameras.... they've gone digital ya know... it's not 1997 anymore, either :) Swivel screen viewfinders need not apply!
