Day 122: County Worker

A county worker crosses the street to mark the water lines. I made this photo while driving at about forty-five miles per hours on the way home. Clicking the shutter as I passed while panning the camera to keep the blur down.
(Do not try this at home, please keep both hands on the steering wheel while driving, only a professional should attempt making photos while driving.)

Photography Tip: When making a self-portrait using the self-timer mode on the camera, be sure to give you-self plenty of time to get into position before the shutter click.

Day 120: Laces

There are times in life when you have stop waiting for things to happen and do something about it. If no one has ever heard of you they are not going to hire you, even if you are the greatest photographer in the world. So lace up your shoes and get out there and make things happen.

Day 118: Flying Cards

Sometimes to make a photograph you have to do some strange things. For this shot I set the camera on a tripod, placed a hot shoe flash to camera right, and the camera was in self-timer mode with a five second delay. I clicked the shutter button and then laid on my back so I could throw the card up in to the light at the exact moment the flash fired.
