366 Days of 2012, Day 338 - Warp Speed

I have to say I was not that confident making this image that my camera would survive the shoot.

Would you feel confident sticking 2kgs of camera to the bonnet of your car with a suction cup? Well just to play it safe I also used a safety cable so if the suction cup happened to pop off either through excessive g-force or a snatch and grab at the lights at least some local random would not be running off with my camera, dinged up or not.

For those familiar with the streets of Adelaide, the above should be enough for you to guess where this image was captured.

To set up for this image I installed 'Magic Lantern' into my Canon which enabled me to make the camera continuously shoot a new image every few seconds (you can fill up a CF card really quickly this way). A simple alternative would have been a long cable release or a remote control. The end result would have been the same.
