Lost in transit

A pidgeon, 2 men, a dog, and a lamp

Hi everyone. This is my first post, I'm a bit wobbly in the knees but here goes. I noticed a few posts from Prague so thought I’d do one from my time there too:

…………………….

Observing the perfect photo-composition is not too difficult, but adding, living, moving, beings, into that composition is not so easy and depends largely on instinct and luck.

On the Charles Bridge, Prague’s tourist hotspot, I sat with my camera framing my composition. I had been poised for so long, that after a while tourists began involuntarily imitating me. Really! How funny. What did they think they were taking a picture of? Anyway, I waited motionless with my camera, not knowing what would appear before the viewfinder, not even expecting anything. Then suddenly there it was, I felt my finger instinctively press down and as the shutter released I felt that ever so satisfying ‘kalunk’ of the Nikon.

This is what I caught >>>

Life is full of these convergences, though never in the same way twice.
