I went for a drive today.
For no reason, other than to drive.
I think that too often, all we see is the destination but not enough of what passes by us at 80 mph.
Today I wanted to see what's around me, and I did not care where I end up.

Thank you so much guys!

explodingtaco · 11 August 2010, 06:22 AM

Did you use a Polarized filter on those? Also which lens did you use on the car, It appears it was a 12mm DX. Just curious which one.

Great composition and post processing. You have great talent (but then again we knew this

).

All shots were taken with a Nikon D90 with the kit 18-105 lens. No fancy stuff, cause I don't have any.

Thanks Taco!
