While driving down the highway in the south a week or more ago, I tried several times to take photos of the passing trees. Not because the trees made all that exciting of an image, but because for many hundreds of miles, the trees lining the sides of the road were *all* you could see. For all I knew, a hundred feet beyond were vast deserts, or rolling hills, or beer volcanoes and stripper factories. Just couldn’t tell. But sticking a camera out an automobile window at 65 miles per hour and trying to snap a clear photo of trees ten feet away turned out to be a losing proposition. Any photo fast enough to capture the leaves clearly was too dark to be anywhere near “good.” So, what the hell, I tried the opposite approach: close down the aperture as far as it’d go, drop the ISO to the minimum value, and take long exposures. Would’ve worked better with a neutral density filter (think: sunglasses) over the lens, but at the time it was not readily accessible.
