Inspired by William Neill, I'm enjoying making some "impressionistic" photographs. I'm just using camera movement at shutter speeds around 1/8th sec. I took this last weekend while hiking on Larch Mountain.

We weren't sure if we'd see Mt Hood last weekend. Most of the time it hid behind clouds and rain. But it did make this brief appearence.
This photo was tricky to take and "process". The sky and snow on the mountain were very bright, so I had to expose for them and let the trees be very dark. Then I lightened up the trees in photoshop. Sometimes when I do this, I think this result is a kind of unreal look to the photo. I'm not sure if that's true of this one. I've worked on it too much to know any longer. I'll be interested in your thoughts.
