Description
Ever thought of what the life of a trucker was like? I got to admit, sometimes I envy those who can live a simple life where I can just forget about things for a while and remember just how beautiful this world is, but at the same time in order to do that, it's almost a rejection of the intelligence that's granted to us because we all know this world can be a pretty bad place. I know I go on a lot about this, but I really feel like it's a calling: use what is given to you so you can benefit others!Related content

Yeah probably, guess I wasn't thinking too much of aperture at the time, just more of getting the right exposure.

Depends on what you're going for lol, if a properly exposed photograph is what's important to me in this shot, then shutter speed typically is the most important. Aperture just changes the magnification and how much light gets into the camera, and when I shoot with a lens like this, a small hint of out of focus isn't going to disturb me a whole lot.

Nope. Aperture changes the depth of field. Just in case you did not realize, shutter speed is just to compensate it. All of it measures and how much light you want the camera get.

Depth of field, yes, I said magnification man lol, the more magnification, the smaller the depth of field. The reason everything in f/16 is in focus is because the aperture is so small there is no chance for magnification so everything is in focus.

but i dont really see the point of using f/4.3 all the way or 3.5 Since you have so much shutter left. Like some of your landscapes. the effect on 1/60-1/8000 will be the same if you are standing, but f/4.3 and f/22 or more is a bigger difference...

Well, I guess my reason for shooting at such a fast shutter speed was because I was in a moving car on the interstate going about 70 miles per hour lol. Don't want the shutter to be too slow you know?

Try venturing into the ISO mode.

I have lol, just don't like to do it broad daylight, Nikon doesn't have as good noise reduction as canon.

Why does it matters, you're not going to print them out billboard anyway.

I love that a simple image can provoke so much thought. I agree wholehearted with your caption re. using our talents. I know it's a message that we all should know already, but it needs to be said/read again and again anyway. 
lovely lovely photo aswell.

Ah you sure do take in every possible thought about everything, that's why you're so awesome Keitho. XD You really do have the power to make just about anything beautiful. The angle is stunning. <3

Trucking would be free except you have to make deadlines

you ever get passed by a Semi on the interstate while you're in this tiny little thing and it's right next to you and it feels like the opening scene of STAR WARS for a second?
...
yeah, sometimes I wonder what it would be like to just while the hours away, unfortunately, I start falling asleep after only a couple of hours behind the wheel, so I wouldn't be too good at that job

Yeah I thought about becoming a trucker and know a few in the business haha. The problem is being a trucker with a static route--that wouldn't be much fun. Most CDLs just travel one route (distribution centers to distribution centers for example) so it would be a little rhetorical after a while. I'd want to be one of the guys that goes from coast to coast in one trip and did different routes every month.

Likewise, I think that would be pretty cool actually lol. And to have a camera on hand would make things great

There are a handful of truckers who put sprint cards in their laptops and a webcam facing out the window... [link] it's a really catchy concept haha

Love the shot you have here... the flat green background against the big blue sky... well done. Reminds me of up here in North Dakota.

The unpopulated mid-west areas are always really beautiful I find

I like the story behind this just about as much as I like the image...I definately get what you mean, especially with regards to the picture. Great shot!

life of a trucker...sux, so much responsibility, almost no time spent with the family...mostly on the road. but yes, we have been granted many, if not all. our own imagination is the limit. failure is a step to succeeding
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe it's the best life for a single man lol, but yeah I can imagine it would be hard if you had a family. But yeah, it bothers me when people treat life as this big race to get to the top of the hill before everyone else.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
a single older man...probably yes. but the race is definetly something a bunch of people should think about. its not all about money and fame. i feel good playing in a low cool key(laid back, cool, minding my own business) as well as in a high one(attracting attention and such). others have a mentality that they have to be the best and the coolest and make the most cash. sad...its a disease we cant cure...yet.
