Jaipur - In a Speeding Three Wheeler
| Camera | Konica Minolta 7d |
| Lens | Sigma 15mm f/3.5 |
| Shutter / Aperture | 1/3.2s / f/6.3 |
| ISO | 3200 |
As we sped along back towards the hotel in our three wheeler I took about half a dozen shots to try and record the lights, sound, and vibration or the trip. This is one of my favorites. It really hits a lot of the essence of the experience.
A couple of months later into my trip in India, I found myself hooked on taking them everywhere. They were cheap, fast, and did well in traffic. Some tourists would steer clear of them for fear of their corporeal being or perhaps even being cheated by the driver. But, if it has a meter, a headlight, and a horn I say go for it!
This is another fine example of the Konica Minolta 7d's anti-shake system excelling at its job. When I experimented turning the system off at this moment using the same exposure values the man was nothing but a dark blur in the center of the frame. With the system enabled he is distinctly more a human shaped silhouette.

Awesome! This is a wonderfully taken photograph! Its amazing how little shake has come through to the picture, you must've been really perseverant. Usually an auto is like a roller coaster and the roads dont help, so really, kudos to you for this excellent pic.
When you get a moment, you could check out my India photoblog as well (click on my name I guess!). Cheers!
