Fuji at 55mph!

Leo FP6800 (USA) · Nov 26, 2001

A friend and I went on a joy ride in the beautiful countryside surrounding UVA. I took out my FinePix6800 (always at my side) and snapped about 50 shots from the car! Thought it would be interesting to post a few "high speed" shots here online.

(For all you non-US people, mph = miles per hour)

1. Joy Ride 1 - fence pictures at high speed ( ~~50-55mph)~~

2. Joy Ride 2 - Picture of me - unaltered file

3. Joy Ride 3 - Picture of me - Photoshop6.0 Processed

I'm also including a few from a bus ride through UVA grounds...pictures were taken through the (dirty) windows of the bus.

4. Bus Picture One - a bus stop full of students excited to go to class!

5. Bus Picture Two - the outskirts of UVA grounds

Hope you like!

I especially like your photoshop processed picture. I suppose you change the background with another one?

Hi Leo...

I tried looking at your photos last night but they wouldn't load for my lowly 56k modem. Today however I managed to get most of them and I agree with slipstream that your photoshop altered photo is a real winner. I like the concept of shooting yourself in the side view mirror.

I have a feeling that many people wont be able to get to all your photos or will give up on getting them to load. Can you decrease the file sizes a little before you post?

Actually, it is a different picture. I think the first picture was on scenic mode and the second one was on auto. later I just used auto adjust for the image.

Yes, I know... it is a wonderful side benefit of universities. If they would ever wire my town I would jump aboard, but alas they make us wait while all you college folk get the good stuff.

If I'm not mistaken, that looks like a New Beetle rearview mirror in some of your pics. Am I right?

Leo FP6800 (USA) · Nov 27, 2001

Actually no, it is an Acura I think...it is a friends car : )

HaHaHa...I didn't mean to make fun of anyone. Had the impression that miles, feet, inches, etc were outlawed everywhere else. If I had the power it would be metric system all the way!

Also, mph is probably more familiar to americans than europeans/british...do you guys have a mph dial in your cars over there? or is it just kph?

P.S., Just became a US Citizen this August!
