22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
The mode of transportation in Charm, OH
The town of Charm is located in Holmes County, Ohio, home to one of the largest Amish populations in the US, estimated at 40,000. I moved to central Ohio in late 2023 and was interested to visit Holmes County to observe and photograph the Amish lifestyle. The first Amish buggy that I saw was on a two-lane road driving into Charm, and I got the idea to photograph one with a slow shutter speed to capture the motion. This composition provided good light and with a motionless farmhouse in the background a shutter speed of 1/40th per second displayed the motion I was looking for.
