This day I almost got the best photo, lighting, angle and the subject was all perfect. But when I took the photo someone at that very same split second I was pressing the shutter, they walked in front of my camera and ruined the shot. I couldn’t take another photo because that perfect moment had gone! But thats what happens with street photography, you win some you lose a lot.

 

Later on in the overcast day a moment of sunshine came out. In that time period I was walking along a street and noticed this women waiting at the lights to cross. The sun was shining directly onto her and nothing else. I had to get a photo of these moment I thought to myself and here it is.
