I agree! I hate freeways! and I will do just about anything to avoid them....short of driving through compton at night...

Ha ha "send lawyers, guns and money the shit has hit the fan". Driving through compton reminds me of that movie Grand Canyon, if you haven't already seen it I highly recommend it!

Oh I watch it every time it comes out on cable, I knew it'd be something that you would like!

Thank you very much. Sometimes the lensbaby can make you feel dizzy on a distance shot like this but I felt this one is okay and works.

amazin shot, so rich with atmosphere, despite the subject per se... wonderful interpretation of reality.
did you use something like a lensbaby?

I did use a lensbaby. I've been running around with that on my camera for a few days. Thanks.

Nifty. Concrete can be amazingly graceful. I live about half a mile from Rochester's infamous Can of Worms (the house backs onto 590). The 1990 rebuild restored my faith in civil engineering. I really need to go wander on foot with my camera and catch the sweeping curves.
We are just off the top right of the top photo .

Wow, you are close! These things in California scare me because of the earthquake threat.. I still do not have complete confidence in the engineers! Those soaring freeways layered above one another would be a nightmare in a bad earthquake!

lol I can only imagine. such a focused, distorted view of the world, for more than a few seconds, would make my head spin

myrnajacobs In reply to gregoryhawk [2007-12-21 21:58:04 +0000 UTC]

Yep... me too. It actually works best on close ups I think ...or on very very controlled mid range.
