POTD!!!
I am slowly growing to like the car window vignette this photo has. Though entirely not intentional it adds something to the photo. I was taking a back road home from running errands and noticed this house through the trees. It was in the middle of a residential area full of large, ornate homes with a random horse farm here and there. The road itself did not provide a shoulder to pull into so I just stopped in the middle of the road. It was at the end of a curve so in my head I was calling myself an irresponsible idiot. Surely if a car drives around that curve it will smack the crap out of me and my Hyundai. I fumbled for my camera and realized my compact flash was buried at the bottom of my bag. with both eyes on the rear view mirror I frantically dug through the mountains of debris that filled my purse. Oh what a great idea it was to stuff all of the mail and receipts from the passenger seat into my bag. Also a great idea to leave loose bits of change floating around down there as well. If I had dug long enough I’m sure I could have come up with about $20 in change and the kitchen sink. I finally found my card and tried to shoot only to realize it was completely full. Damn. Format. Try again. It shoots I fail. Camera was set to manual from the night before. Eyes on the mirror, edge forward a little bit…Set to aperture priority, lean across the seat and snap. One shot. For the most part, I got the shot. The light was fading and I knew there was no place to turn around and try again. Content with my self vignetted shot I drove off into the sunset. The End.
