Boy and Bird

Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon 70 – 300 VR
f/8 at 1/250
ISO 100

I have not yet posted any pictures of people so I thought one was in order today. This is an example of a spontaneous shot that I only got because I had my camera with me and ready.

We were in Mexico sitting by a pool near the beach. I had my camera ready because I was trying to get a shot of a humming bird that would show itself periodically each day. As I looked out at the beach I saw a couple of young boys approaching and one was carrying a live bird.

Because I already had my camera set the shot was easy. I grabbed my camera and ran to the beach just as the boys arrived. I asked if I could take a picture and they obliged. I got two pictures and this is the one that tells the story.
