I learned something useful, completely by mistake, with this painting. I like to paint roads, and often the best view is from the middle of the road. So I take photos from the car. (Usually when I'm in the passenger seat.) But they're blurry, which is annoying. So it was a happy accident that my camera was set to "video" here, and I shot several seconds before realizing it. Back on my computer, I made a cool discovery--I can pause that video anywhere I want and get exactly the view I want, in focus. Cool, eh? So now I take a lot of very boring videos.
