TITC - Strangers in Black And White

Taken for this weeks Totally Informal Transglobal Challenge "Strangers in Black and White".
Other entries can be seen at http://forum.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?t=32737
This was a road clean up crew on the way to work.
Luckily VR in active mode doesn't do a bad job, even though I was doing 60mph at the time, and driving!!!!!
A lack of time meant I had to limit this challenge to strangers in black and white and skip
the portrait part!!!!!! I'm not very good chatting people up for portraits anyway ;-<

Nikon D70s
1/1250s f/8.0 at 70.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Great shot for 60 mph! Usually the subjects are moving, not the photographer! V.

Excellent.....now, are they doing community work because they did something bad?
Jay Levin09-Aug-2007 22:33
This is an astounding tack-sharp shot, Dave. I never realized that Active mode could do this well. The background is excellent too.
Tricia09-Aug-2007 21:53
This is a wonderful shot Dave, in fact I could almost say it is superb! ;) That you have focused on the people so well at 60mph is amazing, and the backdrop of the mountains, with the puffy clouds is gorgeous.
Jen Bixler09-Aug-2007 21:03
Drive-by shooting! You rebel, you!
Guest 09-Aug-2007 20:38
