Freeway crash

Through thick plexiglass above the roadway, a crash this morning. Luckily, no deaths. Used my small SZ-10 at nowhere near full telephoto. Then, put the JPG in the Dynamic Photo HDR program, and very carefully added 'pseudo-HDR' tone mapping to enhance the image. Am learning about HDR... it is very interesting, as it promises to artificially extend the 9 EV range of our cameras to something approaching the 24 EV range our eyes can actually see.

Re: Freeway crash

Yes -- it is what we call 'totaled.'

Here's a slightly earlier picture, before they got the people out of the car. They were very lucky. Picture -- also slightly HDR'd.

Most of them are not accidents, they are caused by stupidity and carelessness.
