Drive-By-Shooting, 11th St., Springfield, IL (Infrared Grab Shot)

       
            My files contain several thousand "Drive-By-Shooting" exposures. Most of them are
             shot at fairly high speed as Mrs. Hill drives me all over the landscape. I keep my
             little IR camera pointed out the window as she traverses the highways at around 70 MPH.
             I focus on things out of the corner of my eye hoping to catch instances of ephemeral
             landscape about which I have no idea of the parameters of composition or any sane consider-
             ation of technique. By the time I shoot more than 1/5th of a second has passed and the
             scene has been altered from that which caused me to press the shutter in the first place.
             Very few of these exposures are done within city speed zones. This photograph is one
              such example.
