there's room for more

do not get distracted.

 

i have always wanted to do something like this, i have seen so many shots that are similar and well here's my version. this was so much fun to take and a bit of a challenge because i didn't know where to place the camera in my car. this is where a wide angle lens really comes to the rescue, i haven't used it in so long...although im only at 32mm and not the full 24mm. either way the streams of lights are actually the abundant christmas lights that are decorating the houses around my neighborhood...i was only driving, at the most, around 13mph, although it looks much faster haha. another challenge i had was keeping the camera steady, i needed absolutely no vibration so to fix this i strapped the back seat belt around my cameras lens and it worked perfect. i really wish my face wasn't transparent but ehh at least it's there in the rear view mirror. this won't be the last like this :P and i hope you guys had an awesome christmas.
