'Life in the Fast Lane'
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 22 February 2008 in Transportation and Portfolio.
I've got about 20 shots like this one and yesterdays but I'm only posting these two (I promise) or I'm sure you'll all start shouting "Boring!" at me :-)
For purchasing high quality archival prints of any of these photos you can send me an email by clicking here or by going to MY NEW WEBSITE where prices are listed in the gallery sections under each individual photo.

Links to the websites of other photographers whose work I love and who have all helped me enormously over a long period of time. I find the work of all 3 to be inspirational.

I like these two very much, Ian. They are futuristic and unique.

Laurent from Lyon, France
superb!
A very good idea very well realised.
Inside the car, the colors are so warm and you played so well with the lights of other cars and the lamp posts (I'm not sure for the translation)...
It looks like a commercial for the car

This is not boring; it is motion and inspired technique.

These two photos are not "boring" they are creative, maybe a little dangerous, and inspirational. Also love the way your work is "matted".

Both are very cool. I like. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of car is it?

@Bonj: Thanks.....It's one of the new model Ford Galaxys with the glass roof.

excellent ian...what kind of car is it?...i wonder if i could drive a car with it's wheel on the 'wrong' side :-)
that's the one thing that freaked me my one time driving through england, via bus from airport to airport, the reversal of traffic, and the traffic circles...felt like i had dropped a tab of acid...

@Momo: Hi Momo.....it's one of the new model Ford Galaxys with the glass roof which helped a lot with these two shots.
I don't mind the reversal of the controls when I drive a French hire car.....but remebering to drive on the other side of the road is important though:-)
Bonj from Jefferson City, United States
Cool. We don't get the Galaxy nameplate here anymore. My parents once owned a 1967 Galaxy 500.

This is very challenging.
I would call an ambulance in advance, because i know that if i'd just think about this shot, i'd have a pole on my hood !
But, i must confess your result is intriguing, and i love it so much.
WOW !

It's not boring, it's uncommon frame and niice effect, I got to try this! :)

Great idea for a shot. It's like something out of Tron. What did you attach the camera to?

@MD: Thanks...it was set up on a tripod in the rear of the car which is a largish people carrier!
