Big thanks to Mark, Brian, Gaydon, Dave, Ann, Bob W., Rob, Bob S., Larry,
Paul, Jack, and Subash. A few points:
The shot is a deep crop with hefty recovery of highlights in Lightroom
(recovery slider). The camera was set to Auto WB (5100K), and I bumped it
up to 8005K in Lightroom.. I wanted feedback to see if it was too much/not
enough, whatever. So, Rob, yes, I was unsure ;-). The camera was also set
to +EV 7, so I brought down the exposure in Lightroom to -.75, and then
added strong contrast and bumped saturation up from 0 to 10. Then I was
done.
I was, in fact, driving, and I never put my nose behind the camera; I just
held on to the steering wheel and tried to aim it in the right direction. I
had no idea what my camera was set to, so like I said, it's a real Hail Mary
shot--saved by a bit of post-processing.
Yes, Brian, I thought I might be able to sneak this into the PUG, but it's
ok that I can't.
Hey, Bob S. want to go photodriving with me along I-90? ;-)
Big cheers everyone, Christine

hour traffic that was moving along at about 30 - 40 mph. My husband hates
when I do this; I probably should stop doing it.
It's 1024 pixels on the long end to give you a sense of it. Comments
welcome, and I'd especially like to know your views on the white balance
used here. Cheers, Christine

Tell your husband to shut up because shots like this are worth it!
Stunning!
