I submitted my photo to the “A Moment in Time” project that I saw on the New York Times website. Basically, long story short, they wanted people from around the world to take a snapshot at the same time, and upload it, and in this case, it was 10am cdt, 05/02/2010. Luckily for me, I was already up and out to go rock climbing with some friends at Taylors Falls. I snapped this one at 10am exactly (according to the timestamp on the photo).
Also, thanks to Sandy (at sandyalamode.com) who reminded me about this project. 🙂
great shot! love the composition and timing!
Thanks dude! I would have liked it with more bokeh (using a longer focal length), but i decided to go a little wider to get more of the river in the frame to set the scene… Since I couldn’t back up any further, I had to go with the shorter focal length and less bokeh. But it works!
