Crappy as hell pics from a camera phone, but still fun to do.

I drove nonstop to from North Dallas to Houston and back today. Almost 600 miles, and it took me... about 6.5 hours with a break for refuel. (Wondering why I got pulled over three times in the past two months lol)

My buddy Greg thought that I was crazy for taking wrist shots, of course.

Crazy...only if you were taking those photos at 115 mph.

Is that in the Mitsubishi

SLRdude · 24 December 2006, 10:41 AM

I was actually doing about 145 when I started taking the picture... but let off the throtle cause I saw a state trooper a few hundred yards down from me.

I think that the wrist shots were taken right around 100 mph.

Paul.. yeah. In the Mitsu. I miss my Jaguar XJR!!!

I bet you do but the Mitsu has to be a quick car, right?

It's actually not on cruise control. The green Cruise word in the dash is always lit if the Cruise Control button is switched on, whether you use the cruise function or not. I just leave it on all the time.

I started to take the pic at a much higher speed and it included the watch, but I saw the cop and I had to slow down a buch. In the process, I lost the watch and zoomed in on the dash. I was mad.

I see your a "lefty"
That now explains your creative side

It's not easy taking pics of your wrist, the speedo & driving

Have tried a few myself, but not quite at those speeds

Congratulations on the new watch Chip and belated congratulations on the car!!

Actually... I am right handed.
A long time ago I hurt myself falling off a dirtbike (about 15 years ago) and I ended up with a big gash on the left wrist right where the watch would sit.
So I moved it to the right hand and it has been there ever since.

Still very creative

I still may have some hope

Chip, you've managed to throw some excitement even into your crappy pics!!
