Duel on a Californian Highway Photo

Photographer’s Note

I shot this picture while I was driving from San Francisco to Sequoia N.P.
I just gave a glance at the rearview mirror...and saw that truck getting nearer....so I grabbed my Nikkon and shot.
I am quite satisfied with the result.
hope you will enjoy it

Ciao Silvio,

ho fatto anch'io quel viaggio, anche se nel mezzo ho visto anche lo Yosemite, e ho visto scene simili.
Ottima l'dea di richiamare il mitico film.

Complimenti

Gio

Ciao Silvio,
sono stato bacchettato dalla direzione per aver scritto che ripassavo oggi dal tuo ultimo shot per mettere il sorrisone... Mi hanno tolto la possibilita` di farlo. Mah... Rimedio con questa!
Ottimo action shot, scatta & prendi, col bestione nello specchietto retrovisore... he, he!
Saluti carissimi,
Fulvio.

Hello Silvio

a very creative composition that turns a rear view mirror into a classic reference. The tilted rear view mirror, the blurred landscape on the left add that mysterious touch.

Best wishes for 2009
