Sometimes I get lucky when taking pictures, and this I think is one of those times. I had just got on the escalator and my camera was still on, so I just placed the camera just below my knees, angled it up a bit, allowed it to focus and then fired off a shot. Since I only got one chance at it I think I got pretty lucky with the outcome. With just a little minor editing in Lightroom I was able to get this result.

I should tell you though, I had no idea what kind of image I was going to get. I was not looking through the view finder, just holding the camera in the approximate position and hoping I had it right. In fact on this image, I didn’t even think about the f/stop or shutter speed, I just took the shot.

One day my luck will run out, but in the mean time, I will enjoy the shots I get. It seems however, that my better shots are when I don’t look through the view finder – go figure!
