I don't have too much to say about this one other than that it's one from about 100 shots I took while being a passenger in a variety of vehicles in Dubai. Of the 100, this is the only one worth posting, but I'm pleased with how it turned out.

As always, let me know what you think.

On a different matter: I'm pleased to say that we've announced the winners of our Creative Point of View competition for our tutorial subscribers. If you're interested, there's some more info and the winning shots here:

Psychedelic. I can almost hear the heavy metal music you surely listening to while taking this photo and driving 100mph on a highway :D

Dave... I hope your time in Dubai wasn't as frenetic as this photograph! Energy captured! Cool. LOVE the color.

Different... like something you'd expect to see at Tate modern.

A very creative expression of a simple trip in a car!

Carlos: if anything, the trip was even more frenetic than this shot implies. It was fun though :)

Love this kind of shots. That random movement and chaos create interesting lines.

Amazing!!!!! This picture looks like a painting done with bold brushstrokes, and the color pallet is quite vibrant yet harmonious - I simply love it!!!

That's an extraordinary shot. The vividness of the light and colours is outstanding.

Thanks everyone :)

I love the intense colors. however, maybe due to sprint ads over using light motion...the composition is not up to your ability. does make wonder about how safe the taxis are there though.lol

nice abstract!

comment by Chris at 03:56 PM (GMT) on 24 April, 2009

Not only do I absolutely LOVE the colour and jitter - everything about this, visually - it's also a strikingly accurate representation of how it feels to drive (or be driven) around on Emirati highways (scary!) ;)

comment by Tom at 06:14 PM (GMT) on 24 April, 2009

Very unsettling feel to this picture.

comment by Jennifer at 11:28 PM (GMT) on 24 April, 2009

Love it - really does look like a painting.
