9/365: Horse and Buggy

Project 365 continues....

 

Believe it or not, the above image is a photo, not an unfinished watercolor pencil drawing. Today as Mom, Sarah, and I were driving up to the quilt shop in Dayton, VA, Mom suddenly yelled, "HANNAH, CAMERA!!" The reason being there was a horse and buggy crossing the intersection as we were sitting at a stoplight. I grabbed my camera from my lap, turned it on, and snapped a picture through the windshield.

 

Unfortunately, the camera was set on a slow shutter speed, and in the broad daylight, I knew the photo would turn out to be no good. Viewing the picture later, however, revealed that the overexposure had frozen the horse and buggy in time, capturing this soft painterly effect. Pretty neat?
