Into The Void

Today I went for a drive with a friend. We were in a mountainous area North of Hope BC. We were looking to create some landscape nature shots. It was another beautiful day. However, we spent most of the time driving. We only stopped a few times and only for a few minutes each time. As a result, I took very few pictures. The one shown above I think is the most interesting I took today.

What do you think the shot above is showing you?

As we were driving I snapped a few shots using slow shutter speeds not really trying to produce anything in specific. At one point we went through a tunnel and as we did I shot a two second exposure producing the image above. At home I set the white balance to tungsten and boosted the contrast.

The resulting image is quite abstract. I find it interesting. There’s no in depth thought behind it nor does it tell a story. Most will probably look at and wonder what it is they are looking at. Did you guess correctly? I’m not sure an image has to be recognizable to be effective at capturing someone’s attention. But, what captures my attention may not interest you in the slightest.
