Finally, I managed to shoot some material that I'm happy with, which is good, not least because I've had one of those days that starts badly and then goes rapidly downhill. I won't bore you with the details, but I'll be glad when it's tomorrow.

Oh, and I'll catch up with your comments on yesterday's shot some time tomorrow, but right now I'm going to drink some wine, watch some TV, and generally unwind.

great as always. love the silhouette of the car. the colors are wonderful.

My thoughts are negative so all I will say (rather than dwell on this image) is that I really loved those HDR wrecks you did. Those colours were so beautiful and vivid, they really were.

Is it a "Ghost car" or the "cloud making machine" ?!
Great (slow) shot.

Looks like a scene from the Quatermass Experiment, although that was in B&W and most people reading this site will not of heard of it! Spooky.

very haunting. wonderfully composed david.

comment by Darren at 10:35 PM (GMT) on 11 October, 2006

Oh wow, I didn't see this was a car.

I thought it was a very translucent pond of water.

Nice nonetheless. :)

UFO!!

comment by Victor at 01:21 AM (GMT) on 12 October, 2006

Interesting shot. The juxtaposition of nature versus man-made makes this picture work. Great shot.

I saw a pond too... and I like the dreamy grass.

comment by Shay at 06:21 AM (GMT) on 12 October, 2006

This is a really great photo. You're extremely talented!

i like this effect very much. Nice captured

comment by Tibs at 09:11 AM (GMT) on 12 October, 2006

Car? Its obviously a UFO sent to spy on us.

Great shot, love the colours

comment by Ali at 11:17 AM (GMT) on 12 October, 2006

strange! UFO?!

comment by frans - zusjezusje at 03:11 PM (GMT) on 12 October, 2006

nice shot, I also thought I was watching a long exposure of water. The firast time I noticed that it was a car was when I saw the comments

comment by Fantom Poet at 04:35 PM (GMT) on 12 October, 2006

I must admit I thought it was a pond which was filling with the tide I also had to see the comments to realise my error...sorry :-( still godd now I know what it really is :-)

comment by Claude at 04:52 PM (GMT) on 12 October, 2006

Great effect and nice composition. Strange atmosphere. Beautiful shot as always.

comment by Ries at 08:06 PM (GMT) on 12 October, 2006

Mysterious and nice effect!

comment by djn1 at 08:44 PM (GMT) on 12 October, 2006

Thanks everyone.

comment by Terri at 08:53 AM (GMT) on 13 October, 2006

My colleague and I were discussing this shot and came to the conclusion that, if you are male then you see a car and if you're female you see a misty pond. What the heck that says, I have no idea.................

Before anyone shouts, I already apologise if you're male and you see a pond or if you're female and you see a car - lol

comment by Richard Houtby at 05:15 PM (GMT) on 13 October, 2006

From the thumbnail, I thought it was a swooping seagull. Now seeing the full sized image, it looks more like a white late 80s model Honda ;)
I think the fact that any sign of a road is hidden... people then assume it's a natural shape.
Real nice tones in the grasses.

comment by peter at 07:49 PM (GMT) on 13 October, 2006

The blurred car definitely lifts the picture and adds some nice movement to the scene. Good one!

comment by Justin Blanton at 06:52 AM (GMT) on 14 October, 2006

What a perfect title -- great shot!

comment by steve at 07:24 PM (GMT) on 18 October, 2006

love this!

comment by Yulia at 10:10 AM (GMT) on 19 October, 2006

I love this shot! The combination of the stillness of the hills and the blur of the rapid car passing by is simply great! Perfectly captured!
