Speed of Light

Aug 21

Posted by: User Image Jenn {Who am I?} in: 2008 Travels, Places - Central Luzon, Road Shots, Sky Watch Friday

My entry for this week was taken while we were on the road to Bolinao, Pangasinan. I was so interested with the purplish clouds with a streak of orange, from a sunset. I have taken some pictures of the sunset that day - although the sun wasn’t seen, really, but the orange colors decorating the sky was just awesome, I couldn’t put the camera down!

This was the last photo I took. I prepared for the shot, and as I hit on the shutter, a bus passed on the side. It was a bit fast, and honestly, I wasn’t able to realize it passed until it passed! =) But nevertheless, the speed of the bus created a wonderful effect to the picture. I guess I better thank that bus for passing by! =)

Perfect catch for SWF! In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then beleive them to be true. Mine’s up too hope you can drop by… Happy SWF!

What a happy, happy accident! I LOVE the effect the motion gave!

At first, the orange was so bright I thought it was a picture of a wildfire!

I know what you mean about having trouble putting the camera down when you see a stunning sky. http://www.jennwashere.com/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Nomicons%20v2.0/smile.png This one is really worthy of the time it took to get it and I agree, the effect of the passing bus added to it. Thanks for your earlier visit to see my Sky Watch photos. I really appreciate the comments.

Wow. It looks like it represents speed, but when I look again, the motion is there but now slow. Wonderful shot.

I like the special effects that bus created too. It came out great and adds something extra to the pic. Sometimes it’s the things we don’t expect that make the best pics. :-) Thanks for the visit to my blog and the comment. Have a wonderful weekend! :-)
