Spring

A lone tree stands out well against various shades of green. I'm still processing my drive-by photos that I took on Thursday and am particularly pleased with this one. An exposure of 1/8 second combined with shooting from a moving car means nothing is in focus! Yet I still have a recognizable impression of the scene, which I just love. ©Carol Leigh

Carol, I'm hooked on your motion pictures. This is a beautiful scene. I know only you can come up with perfection but that won't keep others from trying...
How fast die Chris drive while you were shooting?
Your NC fan, Gisela

I think this is a beautiful scene, too. And regarding speed? This was a country road, nobody behind us, so I think Chris was going maybe 25 miles per hour. Everything is so variable -- speed of vehicle, focal length of lens, shutter speed, distance of subject from car, angle of shot, did the car hit a bump when I clicked the shutter, am I shooting out the front or out the side, etc. I have another taken a split second later and it looks completely different. They're like snowflakes . . . no two alike. -- Carol Leigh
