Who knows?

I'm experimenting with long exposure on my sister-in-law's car in the dark! I asked the car if it was ok but as yet haven't shown it to her! I think it's rather neat as it incorporates a photo bomb! I'm going to be away for a week visiting a another sister in law up north who has had a massive stroke, can't walk, talk, eat! I've printed a lot of photos and put them in a small album and hope that she can recognise them. Her husband is in the same hospital/rest home care centre with dementia so he might not remember we have even been to visit-- except I have bought a 'visitor's book' so he can look at the entries!

This picture invokes a very mysterious atmosphere Maggiemae. Hope your sister-in-law recovers from her illness very soon. Through my own experience with family, I do have compassion and empathy with your own worries.

fantastic shot......

[Dana Palermo]

What a unique shot!! have a safe trip visiting your sister-in-law. i hope the photos cheer her up!

[David Pryde]

Lovely red colours themed through the shot - what is a photo bomb?
I hope things all work out for you and the family - will miss you.

[Harry J Benson]

I am sure the car will love it :) Be safe on your trip.

I have not done long Exposures because I don't no How, but I am willing to try. Great shot Maggie.

What a fantastic shot, Maggiemae ... I don't know how to do long exposure yet. May get up the courage to try sometime. Great light and shadow here. I wish you a safe trip to your sister-in-law and husband. How sad these illnesses are .. I hope that she enjoys the photos. Be safe.

[Darlene]

What a great shot, Maggiemae. I am not sure my camera will do timed exposures. Will check that out once I get other things figured out. My thoughts are with you in your travels and visit with your sister-in-law and her husband. Such devastating illnesses they are going through. Glad you can spend time with them and share the photos you are taking with you. Take care.

[Pat Knowles]

Oh a very sad visit ahead of you ...have courage & I hope there will be some improvement ! You are way ahead of me talking about long exposure !! Whatever you did it works.

[Linda]

Interesting shot. One day I will have to try long exposure. Hope all goes well for your sister-in-law.

[eva]

Fascinating shot. Sending you strength and courage.

@nikkic @earthstory @pawar_ramesh @pixiefsu50 @doblaine @hjbenson @tonygig @karenann @darsphotos @happypat @grannysue @redrucksack --- No time to do individual thank you's but I do thank you for your thoughts and supportive comments! I have an option on my camera, as most do, for setting different exposures, speed, aperture so just played with that!

[Maggiemae]

@doblaine A photo bomb is something in the photo that does not go with the subject! Sometimes partially hidden! Have a go!

[Helen]

Well done with this photo - it's good to experiment too! Hope your sister in law shows improvement soon and that your photos may trigger some memories. Take care.

[Darlene]

@maggiemae Thank you for your explanation and will see what I can find out about my camera by working with it.

[Catherine W.]

I am sorry to hear about your sister-in-law. Hope you have a safe trip. Cool shot of the car but didn't figure out the photo bomb!

[Maggiemae]

@wannabe Its the wee figure on the bonnet! It is a clear glass ball with a pixie hat of red!

[Maggiemae]

@earthstory Unfortunately recovery is not expected!

[Catherine W.]

@maggiemae Ah ha! I thought it was a hood ornament...prob need to get my eyes checked!

[David Pryde]

@doblaine Thanks for that - I presume we are talking about the light on the bonnet rather than the tree on the frame? Interesting

[Kathy Burzynski]

love the fabulous color here!!
I will pray for your sister & her husband.

[Allison]

I like the look of the plant beside. Best wishes to your relatives.

[Paula]

Hope your sister-in-law get well soon!

[Maggiemae]

@db4 I saw that too when I finally got it into the computer and was pleased. It is a small Australian bush with red flowers which suited the photo!

[Maggiemae]

@paulavdmerwe thanks for your concern Paula! We don't expect any recovery - just try to make her life a bit less boring and helpless!

[Maggiemae]

@myhrhelper You are very kind with your prayers! I think it would need a miracle!

[Lisa Pouncy]

It took me a while to work it out. Originally I was seeing stained glass in the bottom left (the headlight) How awful for your sister-in-law :o( I hope she makes a rapid recovery xx

[Ann Stenson]

Ha Ha!.....love the air of mystery!! : )

[Jen]

Interesting shot.. Thinking of you and your family

[michelle mcintyre]

Neat shot - l couldn't figure it out - stay safe ...my thoughts are with you and your family at such a sad and tough time !
