I was digging through some shots from my point and shoot from back in February and found this gem, I had nearly forgotten about.  I was at Union Station waiting for a bus, and saw this guy standing against a pole waiting for the bus as well.  The lighting and timing was perfect &#8211; it was near dusk, so the cobalt blue skies of Colorado were transforming to a midnight blue just before nightfall.  I remember thinking when I took the first shot, &#8220;aw, this will just be a blurry image and not worth much&#8221;.  Then I found a ledge, shot a few more shots, then decided to drag the shutter way down ( like 8 seconds ), and push the ISO to 100 to avoid noise.  At just the right moment, a man walked across the road and I captured this interesting &#8220;snapshot&#8221; which has now made it to one of my favs for February with my Canon A700.<\/p>\n<p>The point?  Be adventurous, take the shot, take it again and again.  Sometimes it won&#8217;t feel right, but then shoot again until it does.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn&#8217;t but you have to get used to just shooting it and dealing with the consequences &#8230; in this case a rather favorable one, IMHO.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"420\" id=\"image29\" alt=\"Untitled ( at Union Station )\" class=\"tkimage\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tkseminars.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/052607_img_2962.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In class we&#8217;re always talking about finding the light, looking for an interesting shot and just shooting it.
