It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

A Dumb Idea...
I was driving to my astronomy meeting tonight, and thought maybe I should try and take a blog photo. So I grabbed my camera, and set it on a slow shutter speed, and tried to take a picture out the window, to give a sense of speed, as I drove down the road. I got some interesting things, but they were not THAT interesting. Then I thought I should try and be more creative in some way. After a while I considered intentionally trying to blur the photo by kind of waving the camera around during a long exposure. Oh, while driving down the road... :-( What made some photos more interesting than others was the kind of lights in the background. Street lights, car lights, traffic lights, and who knows what else. So this is my favorite image of all. Oh, I did get home in one piece, you will no doubt be pleased to know.
Stupid driving, but very cool picture. This is art! Looks like freeform neon. Dazzling. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anonymous! Do you talk on a cell phone while driving too....or just waving your camera around like a nut?

Wow, love the colors. Reminds me of a carnival. Was that what your drive was like?

No, my drive was straight and true, and slower than the speed limit... :-) I may take photographs while driving, but I never intentionally speed...
ReplyDeleteThis is a great shot. It has a playful quality to it. Just be careful with your creativity while driving!
ReplyDeleteI like the design and colors - it's fun. You must have looked pretty funny yourself waving your camera around in your car...bsk
