As many of you know, I sometimes make my best pictures on the way to some place else. This picture is an example of that. I went to The Bywater to photograph something in particular. We’ll get to that in posts over the course of the next week. Let’s just say it has something to do with on of the last dirt alleys in New Orleans., rumors of it being a place where pirates once walked and, a place where voodoo and hoodoo is practiced today. There. I’m sure that got your attention.
I found that place. And, I made those picture.
As I was leaving The Bywater, the sun dropped below the clouds and turned everything orange. For those of you who are wondering, this is as I saw it. No orange filter. No manipulation in Photoshop. Just nature. The sun was so low and so bright that I really couldn’t even look into the viewfinder or LCD to focus. So, I used auto focus. I had to. It was so bright that I couldn’t even see the details of the scene with my naked eye.
But, I could see everything once I started working on the images. And, what do I see? A cat taking a stroll in front me. That’s the picture. An accidental picture. Little Miss or Mister made my picture without either of us knowing. it.
