I had been going back and forth between the coast a lot, and I got to be the passenger for one of the trips. With a piece in mind about hurtling through the trees at sixty miles per hour, I had turned the shutter speed to two seconds (too much blur, can’t tell what stuff is) and settled on a single second. Holding the camera as steady as possible in a bouncy car was difficult, but I like the result! There could be a little man dashing through the trees, trying to keep up with the car.

Thanks for seeing my work!

Perhaps try setting the camera to manual focus and a plausible distance - I almost feel sorry for auto-focus trying to make sense of what it's seeing in those circumstances!

But a good experiment to try.

Yeah, a friend of mine agreed. She said, "Tanis, it's definitely work, but it's far from your best work."

The polling results here seem to reinforce that.

The two-second version. The blurs were amazing, but my camera decided to focus on the car’s display. Booo.
