Certain things conspire

Many times we take photos that just aren’t there. Meaning that some things haven’t aligned properly or maybe an object has got in the way and by the time I realign, the moment is gone. Or maybe we are spotted and the subject becomes self conscious and changes the pose. That may even work in our favour as I’ll show in the next post. That’s the spontaneous nature of life. We’ve probably all experienced it at sometime in our photographic journey - the missed opportunity. But if we get out there often enough and keep a keen eye, stuff happens in front of us. The woman in this picture was taking a break from her market stall in Guangzhou, China. The image is made a little stronger since the arms of the poster woman and the chair lady go in the same direction.
