Drive By Shooting

Photography provides artistic expression, conveys a message and records family life. Photography can also be just fun and experimental. This is a shot taken hand held with my Canon S90. I had previously set the ISO at 400 to get a faster shutter speed as I had been taking photos in low light. ISO 400 is about the maximum for this camera without getting too much noise. The aperture was also set at f2.2. Exposure Compensation was dialled back -2/3rds EV. As I was using Aperture Priority the camera determined a shutter speed of 1/25th of a second. Again great image stabilisation to deal with my hand held camera shake, while the movement of the car creates a nice motion blur.
