Driving a Bentley on the "Autobahn"

[16mm]

I was driving behind this car on the highway crossing the German border, I drove past it and stopped at the next parking.

There I grabbed my camera , put on the summilux 1,4/35 and ran to the side of the road where I was just in time to take this one photo

If you took this with a 35mm I hope you cropped this because otherwise you were quite close to the cars. and knowing how crazy some germans drive you should get extra points for taking that shot :-)

 

but all that aside, impressive to get the shot of a moving object this sharp

Tom, great catch. And a beautiful car with nice action/speed.

 

By the way, if your avatar is your King Charles Spaniel, his/her twin brother is living at my house.

Some people have too much fun! I'd love to take that for a spin.

 

Great shot. Try and track down the owner and offer to sell him a print!

Great shot, well done !

[16mm]

@schmiddi: Thank you, only some slight cropping since I was close to the car. But there was a guardrail between us.

@stuny, tmldds, richam and George James: Thank you for commenting

@Timmyjoe: Thank you , the dog in my avatar is my Bernese Mountain dog probably a little bigger then your King Charles Spaniel but just as sweet.

@earleygallery: Thanks, tracking down the owner is difficult . When checking the license plate I only found the car was first registered in 1928 and changed owner in 2003
