The ultimate selfie – Driving through the Star Field!
The ultimate selfie – Driving through the Star Field!
I had a lot of fun up on the ridge taking photos of the Milky Way, and a lot of them featured my car. I decided it would be better if I was part of the shot - driving through the star field
I love the reflections of the stars on the car. I experimented with different lighting to light myself up in the car, and had to stay still for 20 seconds!
I dunno? I think you held the right pose. Holding a smile for 20 seconds is pretty hard to do without cracking up or feeling silly
Oh, and I think you may have run over M8.
yeah, perhaps a slight look to your right and up a bit, out of the window with a half grin? and make you a woman....heck, Mike, just take a sexy blonde with you next time

That's all good... but it wouldn't be a selfie then.
great stuff...shame you didn't smile though a touch of carefree humour would have made it even better
Mike
Thanks for the comments Mike I agree a smile would've been good - I was too busy thinking about how much to light up the inside of the car (and my face) and trying to stay still

When cameras get fast enough, I want to see one with stars under the tyres!

The car was so dirty too, but the reflections still show up!

haha yeh someone else suggested that too. Would've been good but would've been too bright for the single exposure.
And a great car, is it my eyes/colour cast or is your the dark blue as well. I picked up mine earlier this year. It has even survived a Roo (although I saw the silly thing early enough and probably only hit it at 20km/h) Only a small scratch and tuff of fur in the grill apart from that the car was perfectly fine.
great stuff...shame you didn't smile though 
a touch of carefree humour would have made it even better
