Finally, there is the straight, not much manipulation, traveling car images. This one I took in the fall. Again, I used about an 18 ND filter so my exposure time was 2 seconds. (My wife is not so copacetic  when I drive and shoot at the same time, but I’m a guy. I can pretend to multitask!)

Here’s another style I use.  My profession is as a visual neurobiologist. I would like to figure out how to use a camera like an eye.

I focus on the buildings adjacent…[Read more]
