Intersection

A quick draw photo.

Keeping the camera near me sometimes means, even in traffic, grabbing a photo when something catches my eye. Often this hurried exposure leads nowhere, but other times it can be interesting.

By the way, this was a 1/2 second exposure handheld while waiting for the light... a testimony to how good image stabilization can be (notice the car light streaks). Not saying this is a technically great photo, but still surprising to me.

Crossing the canal

It occurs to me that I often shoot photos with traffic in blurred motion against the foreground and background that is static and sharp. I guess this is to create contrast, but I can tell you that this bridge was in motion too. When this truck hit the bridge deck it was like I was on a trampoline... well not quite, but it is surprising how much bounce there can be in what I assume is a structurally sound construction.
