Photo Tip - Patience is the Key

3rd and Final Shot

I went for my morning walk on the boardwalk when I saw this girl coming towards me, carrying her surfboard on her head.

Most of the surfers I see are male and they carry their board under their arm.  So this was different.

I waited until she turned right, on this path to the ocean, so that I would be behind her.  

As you can see from my other two shots, it's much more impactful when she is in the middle of the path, rather than up against the side railing, especially  because this is a silhouette picture.

The other correction I made to my first image is to zoom in with my iPhone.  I would have had to run to get in position, and that would have looked ridiculous!!

1st Shot - Too far away and she isn't a clear outline.

2nd Shot - I used my 2X zoom on my iPhone, but I need to wait 2 more seconds for her to move into place.
