Sitting Duck - In An Unguarded Moment 8
I have to write a bit of a description for this one, because this never happens in my town. Yesterday was a public holiday but we needed groceries for tea. The local IGA was the only thing open so we went there. As we came out of the store, I noticed this man perched on the wall, just as you see him. There was no-one else around. No other people, no other cars. Just me and Noah and our groceries. How could I pass up this photographic opportunity?? But how could I do it without being noticed?Here's where having a kid with you when out photographing can come in handy. Get kid in car then keep talking to him as you pretend to check your phone for something very important. It is imperative to keep talking to kid the whole time. Shoot quickly from the hip, casually walk around car, get in, drive away. Job done. The reason I really wanted to get this shot is because in my town, people do not just perch themselves against a nice blank wall with interesting textures. I have no idea why he was there but he was a great sitting duck for me to shoot - with my phone of course. He reminded me of that carnival game where all the ducks move past and you have to throw balls at them or shoot at them to knock them down. His cap even looks like a duck's bill. Anyway, there's really nothing special about this image, but it's a bit special for me.
