Harsh afternoon sun is not an ideal time to photograph. This roadside stand of trees along the Eastern Foothills Parkway was on fire with the bright midday sun. It was a good time to try some intentional camera movement (ICM) photography technique.
Using a slow shutter speed, I moved my camera up and down while shooting several frames per second. Experimenting with different speeds of both the shutter and my own movement produced a hundred or so images to sort through. Most go in the digital trash bin but occasionally there will be a keeper or two.
I like the combined sense of motion and the abstract appearance of the trees in this image. I hope you do also.
