State of the Union

State of the Union

August 9, 2010  |  Buildings, Streets  |  , ,

This photo is included on FlixelPix, not for any political reason but simply for the colour. The image is a quick capture with the 50mm lens as I walked along an empty street. It isn’t difficult to find a flag to photograph here but this was literally a split second hold the camera up and snap.

In a way it is included for the irony, when I try to achieve a perfectly focused shot at f1.4 I fail, the single time I don’t look through the view finder or care about the photo being taken I manage to capture a naturally sharp image. I give up.

  1. I really like how the flag stands out. But you’re right, those “accidental” shots usually end up being keepers.
