Missed Shot
My mother and I were walking to the market yesterday when we rounded a corner a block from our house. The street was empty of people and cars, however there was this horse tied outside of a house. It was a great photo-op. I told my mother to wait up while I dug furiously for my camera in my purse, not expecting to use it so soon. By the time I had the camera out, turned on, and aimed for the horse, the owner of the horse came out of the house. The shot was ruined. I was so upset, I almost asked if the owner would go back inside the house for a second (but I didn’t). Here is the shot that I got, which isn’t very good because I had the macro focus on, and of course, the composition of the shot was ruined. Next time I am in my parents’ neighborhood, I am stalking that corner on the weekends until I get the shot I wanted with that horse solo!
Sad! But the photo still looks great to me!
You are too kind, Faz! Thank you for the lovely compliment! Cheers from Southern California!
a very nice shot… Nina, muestranos mas fachadas de las casas mexicanas :)
Thank you very much! I am back in SoCal right now, but I will be posting some more pictures of Mexico. I will make certain to post some of the architecture! : )
photo still looks awesome… the colours especially. Is mexico always so sun-dappled surreal? (horse-stalking is a legitimate past-time, though, anyway)
Thank you, Elizabeth. I wish I got the shot I wanted. The image is burned in my mind. The horse wasn’t in the street, but up against the building so serene and just hanging out, not a single car or person in sight down the whole length of the street. Now I know what those Maya ballcourt field goal things are for outside of people’s houses–it’s to tie their horses to!
