Impressionist Photos

Last week Lisa and I needed a break. The more pressure you get, the more the walls feel like closing in on you around here. Probably also a side effect of my totally crammed little dorm room here. So I grabbed my Sony Alpha 100 and we sat into the car and went north and up on some winding little roads into the depth of the Salzburgian hinterlands. And I like taking photographs during driving.

Followed by a fat car that nearly pushed me up the little road up the mountain I set the cam to ISO 100 and a small f-stop. The exposure times varied from a 1/20 to 1 second and so the picturesque forest scenes blurred on the CCD to impressions of itself rather than sharp documents. Usually I just delete blurry photos instantly but I stuck with those. Additionally a wonderful quote from Lisa about the photos.

The beauty of these pics is twofold: On one hand they remember you of the moment and atmosphere when they were taken, just like the other photographs. On the other hand they lead you to totally different associations because they are vague enough for that.

Hope, you like them too!
