Airport security girl

View large on black

 

This was another sneaky Leica attack.

 

She was somewhat aware of me, continously strafing me with her attention but luckily not too much. I guess she was just a little bit tired. I had everything lined up, exposure, focus etc, and sat there, gasping, looking uninterested, waiting for something to happen to take her focus off me.

 

With my heart pounding, I held this position in 2-3 long minutes, both anxious for her not to walk away from my shot, and for getting caught by this person that might just be a trigger happy security guard for all I knew. Who knows what consequence it could have had if she found out there was no little LCD-display with a "delete" button on the back...

 

"Ding dong", the speaker sounded and I noticed something happening to the far right of me, a man rising from a chair or something. She turned her head. To the left. Half a second later.

 

    click.

 

Ah, what satisfaction. She really didn't notice. I guess this is what hunters like about hunting. I love this camera. Makes me feel like a photographer again.

 

This was one of the most memorable shots this day. I'll post another one in a couple of days. Just need to get them in and done :)
