Everybody,

That's a ballsy photo to take at any time other than the middle of the night. ...

Question is how to get the photo without getting killed....

I was thinking about this through the middle of the day and realized that in a sense I'm asking folks who may be newbier-than-I and less-camera-versed-than-I to try to replicate this shot. I went back and found that I would call it unsafe to try on a sunny Sunday afternoon because more traffic means less available time. When I shot it last night -- about 8:00 pm -- I was the fourth and last vehicle in a moderate speed group and had about a minute to stop, get off, shoot, and get out of the tunnel.

If you check the spot out and don't *know* you can do it safely please tag it in another way.

... What do you got, five minutes minus the time it takes to ride through?

The signage says it's a five-minute light. I *think* this means green on one side, then five minutes later, green on the other, but I didn't time it to be certain.

Doing it the Tru Flava Way, i.e. at the east end, is safer because you'd be stopped right in front of the stopped on-coming traffic:

Doing it the Unpossible* Way is safer because you don't have to stop:

Doing it the Outside Way at either end is safer because you're not in the middle of the fricken road:

Really, Tag should be fun but SAFE. If people feel that this is too much, I'll happily post another location I shot today.

Been more than 24 hours. Somebody else going to get it, or do we get the thread title changed to "M4M: Mosquito and Ogglodyte play tag"

Thanks Skeet. Was having nightmares about this one and was going to post entrance and exit photos.
I think we should keep it on the sane and safe
Wish I knew how to post from the phone.

Don't you get snippy with me Mister
Photo was INSIDE a tunnel that sees a lot of weekend traffic. No way I'm stopping inside the middle of a KNOWN raceway (I've been known to conduct serious speed tests there in my yudth)
Looks like I'll nail it this AM so...THERE!

We can start our own thread anyway, Bubby.

I don't know that one.

Threesome, anyone?

Annapolis Bridge?

Somebody update the map. I'd do it, but don't know the exact location.

 

[masameet]

I know this tunnel, I was just there last weekend!

And I rode through there last Easter Sunday!

... This one is the tunnel out to the Marin Headlands

Yah!

Just to show I really did give a twisted clue:

"O Palomar in the depths of my mind, if you can only forget to lose you just might get a head."

(And FWIW, that's also an oblique reference to one of the Thin Man movies ;o)

ahhh FFFFFFFFUUUUUU

Naww. You've been there, done that, brought back the photo. It's all good! )

 

[ThumperX]

OK the next one will be easy
Question? do I have top use the same bike for the destination photo? Hornet is under the weather
Otherwise I'll just walk it to the next spot.

With enough bikes you could play with yourself.
