Tell me about the one that got away! I like this shot! #1282542Deb Koskovich June 27, 2010
Ok, you talked me into it! I was standing off to the side of the path in another section of the park. I was at the bottom of a hill, steep enough that a bull could have crested the rise coming at me and taken me by surprise. And I had the scene in focus, ready to go. I just like the way it looked, disappearing into the sky like it does. Well, it wasn't a bull that came over, but a biker...a different one than you see here. This one had on a bright orange and yellow singlet and he came over that rise against the crisp blue sky, moving at a pretty good clip. I was right there! Ready and aimed! All I had to do was press the shutter! What happened? Buck fever! Ever experience that? You know in that nanosecond that it's the perfect shot, and you can't believe you have a chance at it...and YIKES! It's gone before you know it. Why didn't I shoot??? AARRGGHHH!!! I thought about that ALL day, don't you know... #8719035Gord MacEachern June 27, 2010
Fabulous action image Deb, great image! I think we all have times we wish we could get a second chance at that award winning shot, lol. #8719058Michelle Alton June 27, 2010
