Taking photos can be dangerous ...

[sdd]

So I was in Swaziland this weekend and saw this opportunity of a great shot on my way to Piggs Peak Hotel. Did not see a huge dip in the road surface and almost got my car to pivot on the edge as I pulled off the road.

That was close.

Anyway, feel free to check out my shot taken with slightly trebly hands ...

Nice shot - but why not embed it in the thread itself?

 

[sdd]

I dont know how to ...

Insert the image by clicking on

and drop in the url for the actual image - not the page it is on. Which will give you this

Then highlight the bit you've done so far - click on

to link it to the flickr page

Thanks for the compliment ... but I am also finding my way around my dSLR camera. Had it for just over a month or two now.

The learning curve is steep but really worth it.

Most of what I know now comes of study from the internet.

Awesome shot sdd. But is it just as shot? Technically it looks like the clouds must be much less exposed than the ground. Did you combine two shots? Or use a graduated filter? Or what?

 

[sdd]

shot in raw ... then merged 2 different exposures.

I thought I saw you saying that you forgot in that white text?

Now you can graduate to the action shot with high shutter speed - you know, the one where you roll the car down the hill
Just kidding - brilliant shot!
