Cross Country Trail 2011

It's toward the end of the cross country season when the leaves are everywhere.

The Path to Forever

The Path To Forever

This is a technique that I have been experimenting with for a while. It's difficult to master and most of the time the results are horrible, but this one in particular came out great. It requires a longer shutter speed and a quick reflex on the zoom lens. After pressing the shutter release button, you zoom out to give this effect. I especially like this one because it makes you a bit uneasy when you look at it. It's almost like the girl on the trail is running away from something.
