[Leica] New Genre of Photography

[Nathan Wajsman]

Beautiful landscapes, and the shutter speed did the trick! You could also do the opposite and embrace blur, as my friend Lars did for one of his projects:

We were on a tight schedule on our trip down to SoCal, so my lead-foot wife did a lot of the driving.  (You can take the girl out of California, but you can't take California out of the Girl).  So, while speeding along at 65+ I knew I could not ask her to stop so I could take some pictures, so I devised the driveby.  Set the shutter on the Nikon to 1/8000 and on the Q2 to 1/40,000 (Yep, 4 zeros) aimed it out the side window and tried to time my shots to avoid obstructions. Did not roll the window down as the temp was south of 20F a lot of the time.  What's the wind chill for 10F at 65mph?  Amazing what 1/40,000 can freeze.
