This is the second-anniversary edition of Speed, a photo I took from the passenger’s seat of a car in motion. We were moving at 30 miles per hour, but with the one-second exposure, the center is sharp but the edges are blurred. While I posted this on deviantART [2] back in May 2006, I’ve added nice orange text, a border, and a bit more contrast to this revised version. The street is Derbyshire Road in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Buy a 4*6 copy for $0.95 (USA only). Lustre finish. After adding, go to your shopping cart [3].
The Call [4], an English band, put this photo on the cover of their album, Missing Pieces [5], from October 2007. I enjoy the songs, and though the band broke up [6] last month (April 2008), they will be forever missed.

As you can see above, I took eight photos to get this one. All the others were blurry (camera shake), but I got the highlighted one just right by bracing the camera against the dashboard, and so it became Speed.

Source image [9]. Darkening and slight contrast enhancements. This one didn’t need much.
