This is another shot from the recent NorCal PDML meet.
I don't normally take people shots, as in people that I don't know in public places, or I take very few. I took more than usual at our meet.
This one was not shot at the optimal moment. A father and son were on the bridge looking into the water at the goldfish below -- a great father/son shot. Not the one I got, though. Just as I was thinking, "What a neat shot -- hey, you do have a camera, stupid." the boy moved to the other side of the bridge. (You can also see them in the background of one of Bruce's shots.) However, I think it still came out pretty well. Not great, but not too bad.
No, no...I like it.
The father stared into the water so long, I figured he wasn't just admiring the fish, that maybe he also had troubles... ergo the title...

Watching water is easily as mind-altering as a fire is.
When allowed to... people end up with the thousand yard stare, and turn inward to whatever is just below the surface of their consciousness.
The eyes defocus and everything slows down - even time.
It's a state of being those whose lives are too busy rarely achieve...and I think they suffer for it. In the long run.
Comments welcome, of course.
Also, I am not really sure how you people shooters do it, because they MOVE.
You did well. That's a great shot.
Marnie ;-) If you haven't seen my other two shots from the meet that I've already shared, just back arrow.
