*This is not a double exposure/photomanipulation*

Flying down the asphalt towards freedom. Mexico awaited us as we cruised with the sun falling below the mountains. The sun dyed the clouds as it sank for 60 miles driven.

Photography in a convertible is perfect, even if the wind makes it hard to stick your head above the windshield.

A slow shutter, a flash, and a 75mph cruising speed is what made this photograph. The shadows of the cacti are blurred but their ghostly images are clear. Focus was a tough one since it was dark and I couldn't see a thing.

I tried to dull down the color grain/noise as much as possible without losing clarity. This is why I never shoot above ISO 400 unless I have to... I like to keep it at 100 :D

When I first saw the title, I thought for a second it was some sort of new low-budget wild west flick. Then I realized it was on deviant art...so it was undoubtedly just a picture.

Although- I was disappointed that the picture wasn't at least meant to look like a wild west film! Besides that, pretty cool shot from the S.

All the while, Travis' and my whereabouts where unknown to you and Mary, likely sipping Margaritas at the time. And our plan unfolded perfectly.

Thanks! Yeah, I was pretty surprised how they came out, but it makes sense. Yeah, I used the built in flash.
