over the bridge, on the road home

More images from the moving car, taken Oct. 30 last.

I tried something new for me here. I poster-edged each of these images in two steps.

I selected the water and sky, and poster-edged 'em separately from the rest. I like that much better -- when I did the poster-edging in one swell foop, the water and sky had way too much black dotty stuff.

How on earth do you take great photos like that from a car! I have enough trouble when I'm standing still - I especially like the second one - where is it?

Well, I wasn't driving.... :-)

I push the shutter button half-way down, so the camera is focused, and then I click.... I can take pics out of the side window IF it's of something very far away, like the two today. Otherwise, just out the front. My camera has a built-in "image stabilizer." I think that is software that does some sort of magic on the images.... So that may be what is making any of them be ok.

And -- a LOT of these pics were blurry. I just click and click and click, and expect that I'm going to throw out half or two thirds, or even more.... (Gotta love digital!!!)

All of these "road home" pics were taken in the part of Maryland that is east of the Chesapeake bay (that peninsula is called Delmarva because it is partly DELaware, partly MARyland, and partly VirginiA). I *think* these two pics were taken from the Nanticoke bridge over the Nanticoke river, but I wouldn't swear to it.
