I know this is crappy and I am SOOOOOO freakin' mad at myself for not taking more time to really nail this opportunity. I was afraid the moment was fleeting so other than the quickest, most general adjustments on this cloudy-sunny-cloudy-sunny day, I just shot away and hoped for the best (ultimate sin), getting as close as I could...which, at the end, was about 10' from him.
Our roommate came in the house yelling to get cameras. We all took off running bc this was the scene about 6 blocks from our house. The traffic was starting to stop and people were lining up so he was getting jittery. Im the only one who tried to get close, though. I didn't even change lenses. All I had on my cam was the Canon 100mm, lol. At one point I got so close I had to back up to keep him all in the frame. Not something that usually happens in SOUTH FLORIDA!
