Subject: PESO: Countdown to the Dream Cruise

Two weeks to the Dream Cruise and traffic is building on Woodward Avenue.
Must have been several thousand enthusiast type cars of various genres out
tonight. In two weeks there will be 50,000 or so. But there were enough
tonight that the Royal Oak police -- macho idiots that they are -- started
clearing parking lots at 9 PM. If you could see the crowd of cruisers,
you'd know that's something akin to raiding a nursing home, but I digress.
I went out and shot some swish pans with a short lens and a very slow
shutter speed. This one was with the FA 35/2 @ 5.6, 1/8th second. The cool
thing about this technique (short lens, long exposure) is that, if done
correctly, it yields just one point of focus somewhere near the middle of
the car. The misses outnumber the hits of course, but I like this one. I
think it's an early 70s Pontiac GTO and an unidentified Mopar.
