This was taken as I was traveling in a car going 70mph in the opposite direction as this red truck which I would say was going the speed limit of 70mph. So....70+70=140mph!!

Taken at 3200ISO, with my Eos 20d, with my ef 300mm F/4 IS Lens.

Please let me know what you think about it.

Awesome shot Mathew.

Very nice shot. The red and yellow really pop. I hope someone else was driving while you were shooting!!

This looks like it could be the opening shot of a TV commercial (Car? Insurance? Who knows?)

Mate as the others have said but I think it is a bit soft. Handheld, eh? Can you see the reflection on the road.

Well. Yes it was hand held. I was in a car traveling 70mph...I did you a monopod in the car...but still I was moving fast!

It's cool, and I also like the way that yellow pops out

pretty sharp and clear for 3200 ISO with a 300mm lens. and a pretty good AF system, to produce a reasonablywell-focused shot at a closing velocity of 140mph! thank goodness for image stabilization, eh? what shutter speed were you using?

love the contrasting colors and the semi-deminishing line.

nice capture!
