The top ten fastest cars in the world - Top10Zen

Automotive performance engineering has come a long way from the days of the first petrol-powered automobile - the Präsident, which was manufactured in 1897, Europe and had a top speed of around 30 km/h (19 mph). If you were to tell the folks back then that within a measly 100 years we'd be shooting down the runway at speeds exceeding 400 km/h, they'd probably have stuck you in the looney bin.
Yeah, we know: there's nothing like driving a fast car through an empty highway late at night; just you and the road. Some of us thrive on the adrenaline; others love the bad-ass feeling of being seen driving an expensive sports car. Only a lucky few can boast about having driven one of the cars in today's list, but for the rest of us - we'll have to settle for amazing pictures and a glazed, daydreaming look in our eyes.

Ever since the early days of being a photographer I have liked having my camera on a tripod.   Shooting Landscapes or portraits I have always found that having a stable camera is just of great advantage.
Portraits:
When shooting with people, getting the camera steady and stable can give you chance to get your lighting settings sorted. Keeping a fixed position lets your model work with defined limits and know how the frame is going to look.  Shooting close up beauty or macro it is near essential to have a stable camera.  Most times, mid way though a shoot, once I have got a rhythm going, I can break loose from the tripod and crank up the creative factor.
