Crossroads

One of my first night shots. I wanted to get our lovely Oamaru stone sculpture welcoming people to the town as well as one of the big road trains. As I was kneeling in the grass verge with my tripod, I heard a bit of scuffling and giggles behind me. Eventually one girl called out, "Excuse me, are you alright"? They probably thought an old biddy had drunkenly fallen to her knees. I rose up quickly and told her I was taking photos. The first of many unusual happenings to me, as when people want to get the right photo. Storys already told
Beautiful reds! Funny story! We need to tell and write more of these. =)

Great night capture, Maggiemae. Yes . . people must think that I'm some kind of nut too when I get out there and get into funny positions. But you gotta do what you gotta do to get the photo!

Haha at least they asked if you were alright ...rather than just give the drunken crazy lady a wide berth...Nice shot of the lights ...lovely red!!

LOL!!! Great story, Maggie! And awesome shot! I haven't perfected night shots yet. I find them terribly intimidating but I know that if I study and keep practicing I shall prevail! :)

@maggiemae you said drunkenly fallen to her knees.. So I was just checking!, sorry ...

@fungirlslim No need to apologize, Jen. I was painting a picture that these people might have imagined. I did have a scotch ( another picture) but my attitude was for the photo, not out of control, I assure you! Doesn't really matter anyhow!

@maggiemae It's a great shot., and I knew you hadnt had too much as the shot was to clear.. I was just joking around having just read your text.. Really really didn't mean any offence..
