I got this shot by putting my camera (w/ 10.5 fisheye) on my tripod, using six heavy-duty zip ties, and strapping the tripod to the front bumper with the camera pointing back towards the car.
My wife had the remote shutter release, and she pressed the button on my signal. You can't see her, but she's sitting directly behind me in the car.
I've done this a few times with my camera and have had some success with it, but never with my D800. There's a whole new pucker factor when your pride and joy is traveling outside your car at 60 mph. That, and hoping the Dubai police don't pull you over for thinking you work for Google Earth or something...
Thanks to all for the votes and comments, I'm thrilled to get the blue!
