Drive By Photo


"Oh look at the sun on the mountains," Ed exclaimed as we were driving up Twin Peaks Road this weekend. I pulled my camera out, adjusted the settings and started shooting.

When the shutter speed is really fast (1/1600 at f / 4.5), then the camera can pick up objects that are flying by. That's what happened here as the artwork on the roadside walls (very close to the camera in the car) appears in focus.

Once again, what we are seeing in this image is pure serendipity -- not really planned, just happened. We get to see leaves etched in a concrete wall by the Arizona Department of Highways, a massive cloud formation and the mountains outlined by the setting sun.

It's a drive by photo that works.
