houston-development Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 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 until i get a ticket, a wreck, or dismemberment, i will occasionally update this thread with my daredevil acts. here's to montrose1100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 (edited) I am honored! Oh yeah, Awesome shots! I love the sunset pictures, and the first one of 610 makes the Galleria Area skyline look really dense.

Montrose1100 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 That last one really profiles 3 Allen Center nicely! Damn that lightpole in the second one, eventually you'll master in the skill of timing it perfectly to avoid the poles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Its time consuming to pull over somewhere. Besides, you can't stop on a highway, which usually provide excellent views, since they can reach good vantage point heights (above trees & low-rises).

ZeroTX Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 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): -Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!
