[Leica] Latest driveby photos

[Howard L Ritter Jr]

Very interesting, Aram. I hadn’t seen Nathan’s along the same line. For me, a driveby shooting is getting a scenic vista out the passenger window with a shutter fast enough not to blur the foreground. These are obviously way different!

(I wonder if it shouldn’t be spelled ‘drive-by shooting’. “Driveby Shooting”, pronounced ‘driv-eh-be’, looks like it should be the name of a village in the Cotswolds.)

These are around 30 seconds moving at about 65MPH, so about 0.6 kilometer photos.  Set my tripod up in front of me and shot away. Also in I-5 but further south going through Redding.
