118 kmph by summerfield

118 kmph

even i couldn't believe it. we were driving back from london, ontario this afternoon on the 401, part of the trans-canada highway. this is just outside of london. partner normally drives 20 kilometres over the posted speed limit, normally 100 km. this time he set his auto-cruise to 118.

this cornfield is one great stretch. i liked the rows of young corn and i saw the house and barn quite late as i was taking shots of the dark clouds. but i pressed the shutter anyway. the camera's scene setting was still on 'vivid colours' from when i used it yesterday. i think it turned out quite well. i like how the rows of corn leads up to the house and barn. i like it. hope you do, too.
I just love this shot! Reminds me of home -- esp with the rows of corn!! Lovely!

Great colors and lines. Our corn is already up to our knees!

I love the symmetry of farm fields. Beautiful shot!

@cscecil - aw, CS. thank you. you're always so nice to me.

@jjmarble - thank you, j. these probably are probably higher than they seem. the highway is several meters away from the edge of the farms.

Very nice- the shutter timed out perfectly! And the vivid color is great.

Summerfield this really is a great shot considering the circumstances which yoiu just desfribed. The corn really does lead a person up to the buildings

@olivetreeann - yup! the paradigm of 'perfect timing' or 'lucky shot'. haha! thank you, ann.

@bkbinthecity - thank you, brian. one day, i will master this shooting from a fast moving car. my problem is i always forget the point in which i should press the darn shutter. or sometimes, i just am not fast enough on the shutter. much appreciated, brian.

Fantastic lines and greens! Great shot given the speed you were moving!

Gorgeous green!

Very Vivid- and very clear for fly by shooting.

@alia_801 - been doing this 'shooting while the car is in motion' thing for more than a year and still it amazes me when i get something as pretty as this. thank you, alia.

@danig - is there any more gorgeous green than your eyes? i think not. but thank you, mate.

@jannkc - okay, this is the 'fly by shooting' i wanted to call it 'drive by shooting' but that sounds violent and messy. fly by is good. thank you, jann.

beautiful green!

Amazing that you got this focus from a car window. I never do.

what a cool shot. I hope there is always this much undeveloped land to look at. Nice job

@saask - thank you, yvonne.

@pandorasecho - well, i've been doing this for more than a year, i should be able to get a few good shots. partner wouldn't slow down especially on the highway, so i learned to shoot straight and now clear and with a hint of perspective. thank you, dixie.

@sarasdadandmom - thank you, terry.
