Penning Photography Daily

Snowed again last night.

Windy today. Gusts to 38 miles per hour.

I was driving back home and took the long way, looking for scenes of interest, as is my pattern these days.

Traveling about 55 miles per hour down the road, I spied short stretches of road in a whiteout. The wind was blowing hard and fast across wide open fields where corn or beans had been growing but were now gone.

The new snow was being whisked across the road in such a frenzy that the road and any cars passing through disappeared in a wall of wind-whipped snow.

I grabbed my camera and set it for to as wide a view as I had with the telephoto lens that was on it. Stuck it out the window with one hand and held onto the wheel with the other.

(Don’t do this at home or in your cars folks – I’m crazy)

This is the best of the bunch that I took.

I like it in this contrasty black & white version.

I love seeing what comes out of my camera after one of these chance grabs.

By taking more opportunities in different situations, I’m learning what I can do. I’m learning my camera and what looks good.
