Sunshine Skyway Bridge
I was in the Tampa, Florida area a few weeks ago. On that trip I broke my foot so was not able to get around too well. Unfortunately, I could not take too many pictures. On our way to the airport, I sat in the front seat with my wife's Canon A95 P&S camera to try to catch anything that looked interesting. This was taken in a car going 60mph. I had to do some color correcting as taking it through the windshield gave it a bluish tone. I think this is the bridge design they hope to do for the San Francisco Bay bridge.

Very nice capture (@60mph, no less!).

Wonderful composition, Benson - inlcuding how you got that dark car (SUV?) at just the right point. Excellent.

Composition of the bridge and roadway was really luck. I would not recommend doing this while driving but while sitting in the passenger seat, you can get some surprisingly good pictures. Of course, color correcting helped a lot because the windshield gave it a horrible blue tinge.
Color correcting technique very similar to what Steve had described on his blog a while back. I followed the instructions in the Photoshop CS Book for Digital Photographers by Scott Kelby. Warren had an earlier edition that led me to get this one. Great book with a cookbook approach to whatever photo problem you are trying to correct. Highly recommended.
