Tried re-shooting this today, but the results weren't any better. The highlights in the front window were still blown. Finally it dawned on me ... all of the windows, except the front windshield, are tinted! The tinted side windows act like neutral density filters, holding back the light! Guess I'll have to live with this for how. - Ken

Thanks, Jim! The GoPro has a lot of limitations, but it can offer some unique perspectives. - Ken

Very creative shot. I don't know anything about the camera, but this shot makes me want to look into it.

I don't know, the blown out highlights seem acceptable to me....almost unnoticeable, but I guess I'd like to see a re shoot if you wish. Traveller

Thanks, Traveller. The GoPro is a lot of fun ... but the problem is you have no control over exposure ... it's auto only. Here, the view out the windshield is totally blown and unrecoverable. The only solution I can see is to re-shoot it in the late afternoon when the light levels are not so extreme. I may try it again, if I have time. - Ken

This could be an advertisement...very clean wide angle shot, and creative. That GoPro looks like fun. Traveller
