Bout three in the morning, and it was PITCH black. Really hard to get right, since I couldn't autofocus, and could barely see out my viewfinder it was so dark. 30 seconds.



Oh yeah, and saw a shooting star as I was setting up. Thankfully no ghosts, as the joint is supposed to be haunted. I think I got across the idea that this is kinda a storybook place, a weird little tower stuck in southeast PA for no reason I can see. It's just THERE.

I need to experiment with how to secure my tripod better in a moving car.

Still looks really good, I like the idea. If only you could've held to one speed the entire time, so the speedometer needle isn't blurred.

I'm new to this and I'm not sure how I feel about these one. Feedback is welcome.



I think this is really neat, but what is that white haze on the skyline to the left? It takes away from what is otherwise a very crisp picture.

If your car's headrests are easily removable, get a 4 foot piece of flat bar stock steel and drill it to slip over the headrest posts, hold it to the bottom in place with rod clamps. Drill a 3/8" hole in the middle, put a 3/8" bolt through it and really crank it down, mount your camera to that with a wing nut to secure it. You now have a car mount photo/video rig for under $30.

Ohhhhh...you're a bad person, you've given me yet another reason to drive like a maniac

I think the lights and the brush illuminated by the headlights balance the horizon nicely instead of just having dead space in the shadows down there.

I agree. A happy mistake.
