Description
Riding as a passenger on a road trip, one option was to take a nap. The other was to grab a camera and photograph the spring storm scenery rolling along the highway, beyond the window.
This image makes creative use of grain and blurring effects, these are not flaws. Strong light blasting the tops of the storm clouds produced a fast shutter speed, and so the fence posts were relatively sharp. But I knew I didn't want to make a "straight" image that looked like a snapshot taken on the side of the road. So I prepared the final image as a lightly sepia-toned monochrome and added extra grain. Finally, I added some selective horizontal blurring to the bottom of the frame to return the sense of motion of the fence posts whipping by at 110 km/h.
