P.O.D. - Picture of the Day

Car Fire
Car fire on MD 295 / BW Parkway near I-32

This was my excitement driving to work this week. I could see a narrow column of dark black smoke rising from around a turn and I knew it had to be a carbeque so I managed to get out my camera and snap two shots of it as I drove by. High tech rubbernecking. I used a digital Rebel XTi with a 75-300mm zoom lens shooting "from the hip"; I held up the camera and shot without looking through the viewfinder. I did pretty good considering the big lens, the moving car, and not using the viewfinder. This image is straight from the camera - no processing at all.
