Driving Home for Christmas - a photo on Flickriver

            In the days before Christmas the family team was given a mission which involved the tactical extraction of daughter from the Covid infested East of England and the repatriation of her to... the Covid infested West of England.

The mission went well but we ran into foul weather on the way back. You can see the raindrops on the windscreen.

Hardly a smiley subject for the Smile on Saturday theme today of One Point Perspective. But you may smile as you imagine a rather bored Peter playing with his phone camera on the front seat. And, no, I wasn't driving...

This was a long exposure handheld, taken in raw DNG by the phone and processed in Capture One/Affinity Photo. (I seem to have lost the EXIF data in the processing - sorry!)

The red stripes on the left are us overtaking a lorry with lots of taillights. The white on the right is caused by the headlights of the oncoming traffic on the other carriageway.

For all that I think the image well illustrates the mucky night and the perspective effect of roads and motion for the theme.

Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Smile on Saturday!!!!
