Poison Ivy - Camera Settings Challenge #10

Camera Settings Challenge - long shutter 4 seconds or more - no tripod. I had the camera resting on my camera bag, which was on the ground. I had to be very careful where I set my bag since the poison ivy was growing on the path and all over. Warning signs were every where.
You are a brave person Kathy. I have been spraying the poison ivy in my backyard for 11 months. It is the only thing still alive in that bed. I think I almost have it beat.

If you think you have gotten any on you wipe your skin off with Windex, the ammonia will help remove the oil from your skin. So far it has worked well for me. My Mom was getting it twice a year until last year when we started doing the windex and she hasn't had any outbreaks. So it has worked for us and for my sisters also.

Great shot also. Wonderful focus for a 4 second exposure with no tripod.
Love the dof and the trees (or seedlings) in the background.

@lstasel @tara11 Thank you very much. I have never had a bad encounter with the stuff but I know it can be pretty nasty. I've heard of people trying to burn it and the residue (or whatever it is called) goes in the smoke and can be inhaled causing the horrible effect inside the lungs.
