I swear we weren't speeding. Look, the light was green. We didn't do anything wrong.
The wonders of a two second exposure. I tried this shot about a dozen times with mixed results. The big problem of course keeping the camera steady. I expect and want the exterior to blur, that's the whole point. But it looks less goodly if the interior blurs as well. I did have shots where the interior was sharper than this one. But the exterior blurs were less pleasing. This is the best of both worlds. It looks like we're blasting down the road at supersonic speeds when in fact we're tooling along at 30MPH. I've said it before. A camera can totally misrepresent reality.
