Wait For the Right Moment


Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon 28 - 105
f/6.3 at 1/200
ISO 200

This bobsled was put downtown near the Art Gallery for people to pose in and take pictures during the Olympic games. Most people were doing the typical look at the camera and smile thing.

I took a few shots but no one had done anything interesting. I watched and patiently waited. Then after doing the usual pose for their parents and just before these young boys exited the sled, they did this pose for a second or two. Luckily I was looking through the lens and was able to snap a shot.

Once again I used a flash mounted on a bracket with a 1/2 CTO gel to warm the light slightly. Without the fill-flash the faces of the kids would not have been as well lit. The flash is subtle to the point where many people will not notice it.
