Ha ha, I like it, did you play with some other angles? It could be more believable if you couldn't see the vehicle on both sides of the fish's mouth. Then it would look like it interacted with the camper.

Most all were duds; close cropping was the key and photographing through the windshield while driving is quite an art -- try it sometime.

 

I had a an almost infinite zoom lens, and this 'thing' was almost beside me when I tagged it, but from any greater distance, it was just an RV towing a giant fish.

 

Sometimes the angle's the thing and this is absolutely the best angle possible (for a driver at road speed).

 

 

Thanks for the comment.

 

Glad it amused you; it did me.

THis picture is so clear. I absolutely love the angle you took this picture and love the caption. You crack me up not only becauase you caught FREEDOM in the icture but because the sky has been totally highlighted out which blends right into the white of the screen so it makes it even more cool looking at it (yes I said cool).

 

I love all the words that I geet to see. On line, Cruise, Reserve, Now, Save, and Wild, Freedom, as they just give you the feeling of just going out there and never looking back. My parents used to drag us all over the place in an RV and I loved every bit of it. Of course we were not TRYING to save the Salmon. THAT I think is a bit far fetched.

 

I am a lover of salmon. I of course have NO clue if I am eating wild or not wild salmon. Hmmm

 

I guess I need to find out. I do know I prefer RAW to cooked. I mean raw tastes better as cooked ends up tasting like raw anyway and then I get all concerned that they didn't cook the salmon good enough and since I'm not eating at a Sushi bar I get upset.

 

So, this picture is just absolutely wonderful!

 

I love the testure and the mean looking fish (arghhh).

 

I love how crisp and clear the picture is (in LARGE) and I love how you presented it.

 

Great job! ~ micki

 

Oh, and I did a street picture. Trying to break out of my shell a bit. :)

I was pleased to take this photo, and also pleased to see your reaction to it -- which you have explained in customary (for you) detail -- which means exhaustively and with originality (7/7 for originality and creativity for comments).

 

I chuckle each time I take such a shot and review the images, because I know where they will end up - and I imagine the effect they will have on viewers who have grown to expect almost anything from me -- even something as outrageous as this . . . which is just another day's shoot in my pantheon of images.

 

Best wishes to you.

I smiled and gave chase. How could I not?

 

I won't say how many photos I took; it's horribly difficult to photograph while driving.

 

But I got the best I could do (cropped out the rear view mirror)--auto contrast took care of the shading at the top of the windshield.

 

And I chuckled at the result/I think you have too.

 

Thanks for stopping by (again). I look forward to your periodic visits.
