249. Shooting from the Hip


It was a long day. I had a class from 9:30-11:50. The second from 11:50-12:50. The third from 12:50-2:10. The fourth from 2:20-5:20. The fifth from 5:20-7:20. I taught so long that my voice went weak and my hands started to shake.

At 3:21 PM I was explaining the process of how to make a manual exposure and trying to wrap up how shutter speed effects motion before I let the students have a break. I had a DSLR in my hands that I was using as a visual aid. At some point, the planets aligned and the perfect decisive moment appeared before my eyes. I put the camera down on the desk to stabilize it in the low light and snap today's blog post was created. I didn't even look through the lens. Can I really take responsibility for this deliberate composition? Or did I just get lucky?
