But I like the spirit of your observation.<br /><br />I developed this habit partly because I needed practice using my camera in different modes. Furthermore, I grew restless in the passenger seat with no control over how many times we could pull over for a photo op.

Anybody can take a snapshot standing still with the camera mounted on a tripod. ~grin~Earlhttp://meanderingpassage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-55653131340080396492011-01-25T07:48:22.731-08:002011-01-25T07:48:22.731-08:00Mary Ann - Yet another thing we have in common!

It takes a while, but it sure beats the scenery of such an errand run in crowded Los Angeles. <br /><br />I'm glad you like the photo.

The shot you posted is proof that you can come up with something creative in the least likely situation (75 mph?).

I can't vouch personally for what happened in darkrooms; but, I get an enormous kick from pulling out elements with all those wondrous adjustment layers and sliders.

I used to be tied to a tripod all the time, now I'm pretty free flowing and any photo that I decide to take, regardless of on or off the tripod is certainly worth the effort. I don't get much chance to do drive-by photography, but any photography, regardless of adjective, is certainly worth it. <br /><br />Also, I think that PS has Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00794079257866559509noreply@blogger.com
