even the clearest path may get obscured

I was in Maine. In the woods. With bare trees. And snow.

What else was I going to do? Making an intentional camera movement image felt inevitable.

I was just waiting out the layover time by practicing taking blurry pictures. (Some people are especially gifted and can get blurry photos without even trying!)

But the other thing I was doing was laughing about the name of the store on the other side of the walkway.

Barrel race practice = photo opportunities = practice with panning = lots of failures = some technically weak photos that still are compelling. (This one reminds me of a kid’s rocking horse.)

The sunset started in spectacular and over the course of a half-hour or so, just kept getting better and better.

After a while, I took a break from making regular sunset photos, and decided to do some with intentional camera movement. It’s kind of a cliche, a little redundant, perhaps derivative, but still I liked swirling the oranges and yellow together.

Scottish mist blurs the night

I can see how living in a misty climate could get old. But since I don’t live in a misty place, it seemed enchanting and delightful. And – bonus! – it opened up the possibility of utilizing the reflective, wet pavement and doing some intentional camera movement images.
