Unintentional Camera Movement.

Taken while I was running with a friend through a tunnel on Hawk Hill. As we ran, my finger accidentally hit the shutter button and I ended up with a 1/6 of a second snap of Nicole and the tunnel. A happy accident.

But that led to a tough question: how should I process the resulting photo? Post-processing involves many choices and Lightroom has so many buttons... so I pushed them all, lol.

Anyway, I ended up with four final candidates and I really like them all, for different reasons. My favorites are the first and the last.

It also begs the question: Why were you running? Trying to get a fleeting photo on the other end? Sheer joy? Fleeing the scene of a crime?

@EricMartin Nicole had just spotted the sun setting at the far end of the tunnel. She ran to get a picture because there was no time. The sun was already touching the horizon and the Pacific Ocean.

Women. Sunsets. 🙄

Guilty. I used to run (well, jogged) to the spot at the lake I liked for sunrise shots. This was the first year or two I was serious about photography as art. Heck with that nonsense! Those shots have died of overexposure (pun intended).

Give me gloomy skies any day. In fact, the sky is full of heavy clouds right now, so I'm heading downtown in a little while to do some shooting.
