Every once in a great while, you just happen to be standing in the right place, at exactly the right time, surrounded by absolutely the most carefully orchastrated circumstances you could ever dream of. And low and behold right there in your sweet little hand, you are holding the perfect equipment, the perfect lens, mounted on nothing but the finest, Nikon of course. And to add to all that perfection, your settings just happen to be lined up with the universe. And there you stand with nothing to do but turn and fire. Blessed moment. They just don't come often enough!
When I spotted her, I couldn't believe my eyes...... a mother and her children trailing behind. She was not frightened by me one bit.
She came down the mountain towards me and gave me a chance to snap my shiny shutter at 8 frames per second.
I just know my heart skipped a gazillion beats! I nearly passed out from holding my breath.
After I caught the blessed pixel perfect moment, I bowed to her as she jumped over a fence. And think I even blew her a kiss before I slid into my jeep, giddy as a school girl at her first prom. I sat there and cried out anthoms of praise to the inspiration that drove her my way. There are benifits to getting up early in the morning with my Nikon :) I'm going to do it more often!
