...when you are about to take a stupid boring picture and a kid on a bicycle rides into the frame and you had the flash on to get some fill? I was about to shoot the St. Louis Art Museum atop Art Hill, with Forest Park's Grand Lagoon in the foreground. Somebody mowed a crude arch into the grass on the hill, which is what got my attention. I put on the speedlight to get some pop on the planters in the foreground. This would have been a dreadful photo. Then the boy rolled into the shot. Thanks, kid.
TOMORROW: Thursday Arch Series, plus a new Arch photo on GATEWAY.

My son is usually up on the hill on his bike in his spare time. Next time you need a prop, let me know and I'll send him over.

One of my favorite places in St. Louis. You've added a little human interest. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteSometimes my best shots are the accidental...
ReplyDeleteALL my best shots are happy accidents! Great one for sure. Love the arch in the grass.

I find people tend to duck when I'm taking photographs but sometimes they just appear at the right moment.
ReplyDeleteLOL. I found myself laughing at the story you presented. Is that a Green Bay Packer shirt he has on??
