Some days you just have to do what you've been thinking of: another foggy day on the Bridge

Yes! I confess! I did it! Or to be more precise, we did it. A friend of mine and I drove down the GGB and we managed to get through these extremely complicated maneuvers in an accomplished and professional manner (!):
  1. She slowed down and cranked the sunroof back
  2. I stuck my camera out and up
  3. She slowed down a bit more until the car was almost crawling, then she hit the hazard lights
  4. I focused on timing it right and squeezed off a couple of shots
  5. On the way back, I was driving, and she tried her hand at it as well:
Couple of points to note, we were out there at maybe 630am, so traffic was very, very light - practically no-one there in the fog. And the sunroof was a really generous one - enough room to poke your head and shoulders through.

Now, the shot isn't great but the perspective is interesting. Perhaps a underwater view of the Bridge? Hmm...

Romit, I took a similar-angled shot of GGB at 7 am or so in August 2003, with YOU slowing down the car etc. I will mail you the link but I daresay for all your Pamela-Andersen-esque paraphernalia, my photo with a small digital kit is far better :-P
