I'd say he was an unlucky man because he looked exactly like a woman. Smile

Great photos. Going around the corner a little too fast, eh?


BTW - I assume the Duplex/Thibault running as Truck 3 is a reserve? Any other photos of that rig?

Is it just me or does the ladder look like it is sitting a little crooked?  That driver of the car hopefully left the scene and went and bought a lottery ticket.

Yes it looks odd to me too. It must be lens distortion. Notice the windshield on the passenger side is much taller than on the driver's side. I'll mention it to Greg next week. He's busy all weekend.

I'm going to take a stab here: Was this taken with a Canon 24-70mm, by chance?

<sub>You are correct it is a Canon 24-70L on a full frame camera. </sub>

<sub>Probably could have fixed that better in post but I just did quick edits to get these out to the media.</sub>

I used to have the same issues with that lens when I shot with a Canon. My Nikon 18-105 was that way, too. Great set of photos, by the way.
