An Interesting Filter

Driving around in a pretty intense thunderstorm led to today's photo.  The rain kept me from taking my camera out of the car, which led me to attempting to use the rain covered windshield as a filter. 

Wet Roads and Windshields

The splotchy windshield makes it look like parts of the picture are out of focus...giving it an almost ethereal tone.

A Car

I am not a big car person.  They can look pretty sweet, that's for sure, but I don't feel like I need a special car that looks a certain way or does a certain thing.  Actually, I am trying to get rid of my current car, and have little to no desire of ever getting another one.  We shall see how that goes.
That being said, I was around some pretty nice looking cars today.  Here is one that is apparently a pretty desirable vehicle.

Cadillac CTS 4

I certainly won't say this isn't a nice car.  It looks pretty sweet.  If someone wants to give me one, I swear, I will not turn it down.

Midnight Mist

Apparently having rather busy weekends gets in the way of posting pictures...also taking them.  Luckily I had my camera with me while driving around with my wife, brother, and his girlfriend.  I shot this photo with a long shutter speed, partially to blur the outside world (I was in a moving car (hoping the extra blurry effect would be interesting)) but more so because it was late at night and without it I would not have been able to get an image at all. 

Midnight Mist

It might not be anything special, but the minimal amount of defined subject makes for a style rather different from my usual style.  The trees were lost in the dark mist to begin with.  The long shutter speed made them even less defined.
