880 South Bound - Hayward/Union City


Wednesday - Feb 15, 2003
I took this picture on my way to Jamba Juice to pick up a 'Starburst' smoothie... I'm always thinking of different ways to use my camera... This particular morning, I wondered how traffic behind me would look. Using my rear-view mirror seemed like a good idea since taking a picture backwards with one hand is nearly impossible with my camera.... T H I S was the result...

this wasn't the picture I was expecting - Instead of capturing 'traffic' in my rear-view mirror, I ended up with a cool shot of my brother's "AND-1" key chain hanging from the sun visor, silhouetted against the windshield's blue sun glare gradient.

Now tell me what

wonderful flair of artistry.

: it seems that the focus is in the hanging person with a ball(it's clearer and sharper) and your face in the mirror is a bit blurry so the focus is not in your face.

: i like this as it's quite hard to shoot plus the artistry

: if i have to use some fx, i could add a lil' blur in the hanging object and focus on your face in the mirror....

: all in all... well done

Lon,
Nice picture, you are right about the silhouette. I turned on the LCD on the back and looked at that while trying to drive at 65.
Keep on clicking,
George
