Driving By

Posted by Frances (NewYork, United States) on 24 August 2007 in Architecture.

Passenger in car going 50-60mph, sees this 'have to get image',
quick, set-up cam, (it was on my lap), stay out of driver's way.As we pass it I think "Oh No. I'm not gonna get it", but I started shooting anyway.
Twisting, turning, leaning, hoping!!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhode_Island_State_House
Imagine my delight when I saw this on my monitor, maybe not great but something to work with.

The best place to ask is within the Am3 blog site under contact. There will be a tiny window and I think your question could be within "Technical". They'll email back to you with the proper answer as to what to do and make suggestions too.It's a good place to start.
And, well done. Well worth the trouble.

Very nice. I think if you bumped up the exposure a bit it would be fantastic.

Let me attempt to explain the link thing. Highlight what you want to make a link, maybe the word "Wiki" here. Then click the "url" tab, copy and paste the entire url from the site right over the letters "http" that you see in the brackets (making sure that the letters "http" aren't there twice and stay within the brackets) and that's pretty much it. I hope I explained it right.

Thank You to all who have looked and commented. Tx also to Laurie for the tut on linking.
My computer has been 'down' for the past week, and now my editing program is completely disorganized, one of the many things that got screwed up when this happened.
I think I'll start over, with computing and try to learn several things I need to know, so time here will be limited for awhile. Thank You all for your faithfullness.
