As the sun dropped, I really wanted to make good use of the larger puddles of water that formed on the beach. I held my camera just off the surface of the water, aiming up slightly with my wide angle lens. After a handful of frames, Adam said "Get him!" and Squiggy ran right at me. In the past, I might have stood up to avoid getting bulldozed and stopped shooting. But after years of photographing, it's finally instinctual to keep on shooting when something unexpected happens. Because you never know what you're gonna get and you sure as hell can't recreate it.
steady - i'm gonna have to take the blame for your disappearing post. it was only up for 30 seconds before I took it down. I know yesterday you said you were looking forward to the next one, but sheesh man, that was fast! i wanted to repost it with a larger version of the image, now realizing i could have just changed the code. so......... sorry. that was my fault
I just finished editing another image from this shoot that i'll post tomorrow. i was lucky enough to study with galen rowell while he was still alive and he taught me how to explore each shot but move quickly and get an abundance of good images in the one hour window you have before the sun sets. it's tough because the light is dropping and changing so fast. And it's usually getting colder too
Outstanding! Everything really comes together in this shot up to and including an almost perfect light wrap on the guy. Seriously nice shot.
regards,
Jon
Love it- good point about keep on soting when something is happening. Im pretty sure people would get up to avoid getting wet like you said. Good thing you didnt
