Last autumn when I was in New England, I was working on producing a DVD on my shooting technique (due out within a couple of weeks) and the producer of the project was driving. I watched the beautiful trees passing by and thought they might be interesting to shoot with a slow shutter speed, so using speeds in the range of 1/15 to 1/60 I captured a lot of motion blurred images.
Last weekend when I photographed the classic cars in Lexington, Kentucky, I thought about using one of them behind the hood of a 1938 Packard. I got down low and shot upward on the car with a 24mm wide angle, and using the cut and paste technique with the pen tool in Photosop, I placed the abstracted foliage in the background. I think the results look pretty cool -- it's as if I had mounted a camera on the car and drove down the street using a long shutter speed.
