Brian, if someone decided that the "flash" was a gun flash, you'll have more than confused looks.

There are enough people out there with all kinds of paranoid tendencies that an innocent action by you may have all kinds of unanticipated reactions. Plus, driving is dangerous enough as it is without adding camera manipulation, texting, etc., to the sensory load mix. You travel 88 ft./second when driving at 60 mph. On average, people have a reaction time of about 2.5 seconds between noticing something and reacting to it when driving (that varies by driver - some react in under 1 second, but about 90% react in 2.5 seconds) so they will have travelled 220 ft. before they react. If people are tired or bored or even slightly inebriated, the reaction time becomes longer. Please don't do this. Or if you really have to, be the passenger.

so shooting raw then post processing saves in camera adjustments ..

I've often thought some people believed that, but this is the first time I've seen it in writing.

I shoot in RAW because I suck at taking pictures and editing them so I need all the help I can get. OK fine, I'm not that horrible, but my Canons don't like to get white balance right on their own, so I shoot in raw so I can correct it reasonably well afterwards.

Gotta go. The sweetest one is calling my name. Calling me to a hanging.

well, if you are going to shoot raw why not take full advantage of it? why worry about those little things, like exposure, framing, you know the small stuff....

Fair warning: ahead...

You know what else supports safe driving? Not taking any pictures

I have never wished more that I could hit the "agree" button multiple times.
My sister does this--takes pictures while driving--and it just infuriates me.
It is easy enough for a split-second of inattention to cause an accident; doing something like this is just asking for trouble.

In MY opinion, operating a camera in manual, auto or on your cellphone, while driving is basically saying that your picture is more important than someone's life, or the life of someone else's loved one.
Same for texting, etc.

And for the record, no, I don't text while driving, I don't talk on my phone while driving, and for the most part, I don't pick up fast food and try to eat it while driving either. It's all a distraction, and *I* for one do not ever want to be faced with living the rest of my life knowing that someone's mother or daughter or son or nephew is no longer here because I was eating a hamburger or taking a picture and it slowed my reaction time by 1/100 of a second.

i dont text while driving it is against the law and not safe.

 

[minicoop1985]

And now, for something completely different.

I think I want to buy a rig for car shots. And I need milk/creamer for my coffee.

 

[bribrius]

hey i posted something for cc, how often does that happen. Like never. Had to though i dont usually shoot ap priority for city scape and i am trying to understand the difference better between crop/composition looking at it on a screen and crop/composition looking at it on a wall. Also still trying to understand and fix diffraction etc. focus point seemed a little out of whack too and for the life of me i couldnt figure out why when i looked at it.

 

[minicoop1985]

I gave you some CC all right.

 

[pgriz]

It's coming back to me why I "love" hanging wallpaper. I live in an older house where "vertical" and "straight" and "level" is more aspirational than factual. And my sweetest, having tasked me with the job, is escaping to a movie theatre. She DOES remember what the last time was like. Just finished setting things up and putting down the plumb lines. Time to get wet. and sticky. and YOU, git yer mind outta da gutter.

 

[bribrius]

yeah but it wasn't helpful..... geez, and people wonder why i dont ask or post for cc.

I once heard someone say that the most distracting thing they ever so anyone do while driving was eating Chinese food out of containers with chopsticks.
