Wassup? Or the art of the random shot

Wassup?

During these holidays I made more than 60% of the pictures with the 50mmF1.8D. This is probably my cheapest lens, but the most useful. Because we made a long trip by car. and because I was not driving I have plenty of opportunities to make some “random” shots from within the car. I mounted a circular polizer and a hood on the lens to minimize reflection and got a few nice pictures. I was helped by the fact that we were rarely over-speeding and by the nice weather which allowed to use high speed.

Nothing much to say about this picture; I just like it, the Indian lady on the left makes the thing happen I think. I probably got an incorrect setting as it was shot at 1/40s which is very slow considering the weight of the 17-35 + d700, this cause the image not to be perfect, but who needs it?
