Double-double.

What?  I thought I knew why I had two Hair posts, but now I see Blogger did a double take on my Speed Racer posts.  Seriously folks, school’s not out for two more days, I shouldn’t be seeing double yet.

Go, go Speed Racer, go!

I was on my daily walk (just started this week) and went down by the freeway.  I got this great idea to take pictures of the cars passing by at different shutter speeds, and see what came out.  This is what I got.  The nice thing about digital cameras is that they log a lot of information about the picture in the file, so I could just open it’s properties and see what the shutter speed and f-stop was.  I printed them in the lower left corner for you all to see.

This is how far a car, going freeway speeds, travels in 1/5 of a second.  If you can convince me what kind of vehicle it is, I’ll give you a crisp $1 bill.  And remember, you can get a bigger view of any picture by clicking on it.

The rest are in order, shutter speed getting faster as you scroll down.

I like this one, not only because it’s a red Mustang, but also because the car seems to be standing still on the freeway.

Hope you have enjoyed yet another of my “why’d I do that?” photo shoots.
