A press trip can be a whirlwind. On my recent trip to China my host describe it as “admiring the blossom from a galloping horse”. No truer words have been spoken. Yesterday I was on a bus with several other photographers and riders for over seven hours. Sometime in the mid-morning, a friendly competition began to see who could grab the best shot from the window of the moving bus. The above is one of my entries. I have others I’ll share later but want to process on my better computer screen once I’m home.

For those interested in the technical details: Nikon D300 & 80-200 zoom at 200mm, ISO 400, f/6.7 at 1/1000 of a second. The bus was probably doing about 30 mph.
