I toyed with making some kind of rig to affix the camera to the hood (bonnet) of the car, pointing back, to catch our faces with the motion blur off to each side. But there were a few problems with that, notably my lack of rig making skills and attendant fear of destroying a Nikon D500. So I went with handheld.My wife gamely agreed to drive while I took some shots. Unfortunately the little bumpkin country roads up here are bumpy and slow. Slow enough that to see blur in cars coming towards us require 1/30 sec shutter speed. Handheld. And did I mention the roads here are bumpy? I took just over 140 shots, and these are the only ones that came close to keeping my wife sharp. Plus, and this was more of a factor than I originally thought, shooting through the front windshield meant using a CPF, and I kept having to rotate it every time the road curved.Oh, and of course it started raining 2 minutes after we left. And not a steady rain either. It was one of those schmutzy light rains that just make the windshield look streaked and dirty, rather than wet. The shot I chose to enter at least had discernible rain, which is mostly why I chose it.I like my B&W treatments here, and I added in some grain/noise to give it more of a gritty feel because of the weather.
