Several years ago, I prevailed on a Tri-Met bus driver to stop on a freeway overpass to allow me to take a beautiful sihouette shot of Mt. Hood at dawn. (Ilive in Portland, OR). I was grateful for the driver to stopping and allowing me to shoot the pic using an ES II camera (which was new then). Nowadays I carry a Yashica T-4 or a Olympus Stylus Epic because it is a lot lighter and smaller than the Pentax ES II.
