This was taken from the car as Chip was driving up to Glacier Point in Yosemite. I was going through an obsessive photographer thing about missing shots as we zipped past. So I took out my camera, I started shooting images. I threw away 100+ duds but there is a handful of interesting images that resulted. Also, I made myself car-sick taking these images.
On a technical note, this image was not manipulated in Photoshop except for a levels adjustment. This image was taken through a car windshield and the camera was hand-heldw with aperture of f/22 and with a shutter speed of 1.3 seconds. I did auto-focus probably on the yellow bush on the left before pressing the shutter. My camera’s auto-focus mode does detect movement of the focus point and try to track with that movement. I believe that predictive auto-focus gives the stuttering/streaky quality to this image.

i like the painting effect, is it fiddled or it is due
to the car movement?

Many thanks for the kind comments. This image is not ‘fiddled’ in Photoshop and is purely caused by the motion of the car. I did due a strong tonal adjustment that made the blues pop.
