Powershot-series POTN Challenge #2

Welcome everyone to the second Powershot-series POTN challenge!

Challenge #2 - Transportation

This week's challenge will be "Transportation". I will be looking for that photo that makes me say 'Wow!'. With emphasis on composition and exposure with the right angle. Just remember, the subject in your picture should reflect the theme Transportation.

Kingston Flyer

The Kingston Flyer is a tourist steam train operating in South Island NZ near Queenstown.

Ride 'Em Ghana Cowboy!

OK, I'm throwing my camera into the ring (this time I'm playing by all the rules).

How do you transport one extra human whenever the van is full and there's only one van going to the remote village for the day? You throw him on top and tell him to hang on for dear life!

Title: Ride 'Em Ghana Cowboy!
Camera: Canon S2 IS (yes, I took this one with my Canon)
Settings: Not sure, I had to take it quiclky.
Post Processing: Cropped and sharpened slightly.

Comments: Sorry for the quality. It was taken on a dusty, bumpy road in Ghana, West Africa last December. It was also taken through a windshield. But it tells quite a story, doesn't it.
