The Old Gods And The New

It’s really true that in order to get the best possible photograph you have to go the extra mile (or half mile as the case may be).

Originally I grabbed the camera and one lens, and just started shooting in the street outside the house. This provided some OK shots, certainly good enough to remember the eclipse with, but I wanted better.

As the light available kept fading and the sun kept falling I moved further and further up the street, trying to keep my lens in the light.

I was about to call it quit as the last light faded from view when two young women riding by on bycicles told there was a good spot around a couple corners. I decided to run, and I’m glad I did. If I hadn’t I wouldn’t have gotten this shot, and I wouldn’t have been satisfied at all.
