Fuck, that's gorgeous! Great shot, mate!
Totally, by accident.
Well I was jogging with a full hiking pack through the bush (to get to my destination before the sun went away), and came up to a ridge clear of trees where I could see this view. The sunbeam in the gap of the clouds lasted about 90 seconds, enough time for me to change lenses, then faded while I watched. If I were a couple minutes faster or slower, I would have just seen a drab grey skyline. Happy little accident.
Opportunity, not accident. An accidental photo would've been what sudo described in his somewhat hyperbolic comment.
Most of my best pictures are also accidents. That's just how it is with photography, man.
You wouldn't believe it. I was just walking along when suddenly I tripped and my camera just fell out of my bag into my hands and the lens cap also came off and it turned itself on and I was fumbling around and the viewfinder just landed on my eye and my finger slipped right past the shutter button, it was so close! But that's when I realized it just happened to be in focus and lined up with this landscape, what an incredible confidence, so I took the picture.
I'll keep it up, but next time, if it's OC, just label it as such. Great shot, btw.
Sorry, my bad, I've updated the title. Cheers!
You're good. Didn't want to take down a great photo.
Stupendously sublime mate. 😍
I like it better without the tree, but damn that's a gorgeous shot
Look, Simba. Everything the light touches is our kingdom.
So nice! Those happy lighting accidents are the best. Well captured!
What a gorgeous photo!
Looks like Shady Sands, love it
Outstanding pic!
I rarely see hills photos from this time or angle.
Lesmurdie mornings?
