About A shot pretty much out-of-camera, cropped for vertical. This is the result of my camera going to max digital zoom.

Thanks, Carolina!
Yeah, I love how extremely long lenses compress distances like this. An 'artistic' consequence of using a consumer-level camera is the artifacting and noise I get when I max it out like this, so I'm learning when to try and accomplish this 'effect' in camera. ;)

you made a nice picture of a bad, bad thing... traffic!!
like the blurred cars contrasting with the school bus (at least, it's what seems to me).

Very cool - I love how clear it looks in the thumbnail and then you get a bonus with the full view. A 2-in-1 shot!
Thanks for your comment elsewhere.

Karen is spot on ? this is a painting disguised as photograph? Great.

What an amazing result, like a painting! I am feeling rather impatient just looking at the photo. I can hear the horns honking and the people cursing. Well done~

Fan,
One of the things that pushed me from film to Digital was the great lens that comes with this camera. I can go from 38 to 380mm optically, and then I have a 3x digital beyond that, which induces normally undesirable blurring and artifacts. I think it enhances my long-range road shots with a sort of mysterious and tense mood.

Very nice shot and effect as if I can feel the heat wave on the road. I am rather suprised at your super Zoom Lens 1400mm. How did you do it I just wonder.

Looks like August in Houston, in rush hour. Very intersting effect! Amy

Paul, I like the effect. I always like the look of heat waves distorting an image, but this exaggerated look is really unique, especially with the intense colors.

Hard to imagine capturing the feeling of claustrophobia any more effectively than this. What a great effect!

Looks like there are heat waves in this image. Creative photo idea. Colors are rich and vivid.

Cheers, Frank

...that's why I don't like to drive - the shimmering really gives the feel of sitting there with broken air conditioning on a 98 degree day sitting on black vinyl seats -- nice one - K

Ripples are from heat waves rising from the pavement, but that is made more noticeable due to telephoto compression.

Glad you like it!

Cool! You really sense the tension here. My blood pressure increases just by looking at this! Did you touch this up, or are the ripple effects from exhaust fumes?
