Sometimes you get lucky. I was playing around with long shutter times and deliberate panning blur when I happened to find this strong tree shape in the middle of all the lovely warm autumn colors. Most of my pans were horizontal, but for this one I tried vertical instead and this is the result. No blur has been added afterwards, I have only adjustet the contrast and colors a bit to make it slightly more dramatic. Rally happy with the result too and already wondering if I can do it again …
