as i rounded the corner of 250 and Country Club for home, the sun setting to my right, i pointed the camera and shot as the large oak came into view between the two roadside trees. It blurred the large black tree nicely, keeping the background relatively sharp. I doctored it up in post processing by adding HDR affect slightly, warming, brilliance, about anything I could do to give it a dreamy affect. I even took out the black light wire between the two trees. So in a way, it is more of a painting than a photograph, at least, a representation, impression. It goes to show, one does not always need a stationary platform in which to make photographs. Many of my photographs are from moving vehicles. I have no qualms about it. It adds the element of mystery, of surprise. Sometimes it works, other times it falls flat. Part of the fun.
