Well, I’m outside playing with the sprinkler, a flashlight, and long-exposure photography, and that went pretty much nowhere.
So I move the tripod just to look at the sunset and see how it lines up. And this truck happens to just stop.
For yucks, I hit the shutter button, and he drives away.
And that shot ends up being better than anything I had planned, although I would do it differently if I had planned it.
Shot: Canon EOS Rebel T1i w/ Canon EFS 18-55mm
8 sec, aperture priority, f/32, ISO 400, focal length: 55 mm
Photoshop: auto contrast, lots of hue/saturation, slight crop
