Prior to driving to work this morning I caught a glimpse of some of this typically bacheloresque trash laying about and making a graphic composition of itself. You get down with your bad self, Rolling Rock. You get down.

As I was driving in I endangered many lives to capture this and several other shifting one-handed and photographing out the window shots.

Then I parked and this just happened.

I admit that the day escaped me without much photographic opportunity; I had to make some for myself. Luckily, I have some big windows. I tipped the tripod to and fro during this 30-second exposure to leave some trails and make it into something. Yeah. There it is.

Here in Windsor where I work, we are surrounded on almost all sides by vast tobacco fields. They were even once host to the filming of the 1961 film Parrish. This morning was incredibly foggy, and I had no choice but to take some time out to capture these.

Sometimes I go to these crazy college parties. Sometimes I bring my camera and stick it in people’s faces.

Warning: Techy nerd talk ahead! There is some grain due to ISO(International Standards Organization) 1600. I try to stay at 800 or below (400 to be safe) but since this is experimental and I hate the flash I gave it a go. The results were better than I expected.

It was a rainy day.

But even closed windows are fun to look at.
