Was riding shotgun and decided to snap some pictures and see what I could get.

Awesome but I do believe you have a slight dof problem in it that is only really apparent with the full sized shot.

No, it is on the buildings too. Fact is I could not find exactly where your auto focus was aiming. I think I see it to the right side of the frame but uncertain.

btw, I was looking at your photo and saw a dead pixel or it was a piece of dirt. I now can't find it but it was there when I 3200% enlarged it too (it grew as well).

edit: I just looked at the photo again and there is the dark spot. As far as the focus goes I don't see anything in the shot that really is in focus. Not a put down just a question mostly.

I'd bet the not-quite-perfect focus is due to the motion of the vehicle.

I like the location though, that would be a good place to get some neat shots I think.

Looks to me like focus is set to infinite (aka focus on the sky)Ghost is right though, in the large version the lines seem unsharp.

Oh, god yes. I love that type of photography (I think it is why I loved Fallout 3 so much).

Photo was taken driving by at 60 mph, probably the reason for the blurriness. I've been meaning to go to that place on foot and actually take some pictures, but I'm not sure I'll ever get around to it...

It's a pseudo-HDR made from a single exposure.

Edit: Any CC for the second picture?

I figured the ISO and I put it at 1/2000 but if 1/1000 I lay odds 1/2000 the picture would have been much much sharper.
