Doin' a drive-by...

One thing I love about my commute is the constantly changing scenery. Every day the oaks and grasses in the lower foothills take on a different look. I hope to continue to post new images as my "drive-by shooting" techniques improve.

Time to improvise...

With increasingly less time to shoot these days, I have decided to improvise. On my commute to work I have noticed this lone oak tree on many occasions. For whatever reason I haven't been able to stop and set up a shot. So for this shot I just held my camera out the window as I drove buy. I had preset the focus and exposure and took a guess at the appropriate framing. The blur is of course a result of traveling 65 mph.
