Methods and Meaning

Topic two

I was sat in a cafe inHeraklion on the beautiful Greek island of Crete just playing with my camera whilst waiting for our drinks to arrive.

I had been chasing the shutter speed with a view to doing some long exposures later in the day and whilst my camera was on the table I fired off a few shots of the fountain to see roughly what shutter speed would work well to "ghost" figures.

I must have pressed the shutter just as the cyclist came into view, a random but happy accident. It is not an image I feel I would use but it did make me realise that I needed to go back to always having my camera at the ready prepared for whatever came into the viewfinder (or in this case, on the rear screen).
