Explaining A Camera's Moment

Explaining the photo in my previous post, A Camera's Moment.

Nothing special about the photo. Honest.

No photoshop overlays, combining photos, etc.

I did crop the original photo and added some filter color, but that is it.

I think of going on a photo shoot, like going fishing.

I go to what I hope is a great place.

Then hang around, Cam the Camera in my hand,

looking for an opportunity.

And, of course, I always take a ton of photos - the benefit of digital.

So.

I'm standing on a bridge 

just above an open air aquarium,

where the manta rays swim.  A bunch of them.

Reflections only work in a shaded area, so I hung around the shaded water.

And waited, snapping photos here and there.

The building was reflected in the water.

A manta ray happened to swim by.

I caught the moment.

Cool.
