Weekly Photo Challenge: Opportunity
A set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something
The sound of the engine caught my ear. I looked up. Had camera in hand, CLICK. The auto focus found the tree and utility pole but got the fire engine between as it whizzed by. I was going to visit my friend S and have tea in her artist's studio (formerly garage) last September.

Thanks for visiting the blog today. Comments are always nice to receive but just looking is great, too.
My camera does that, it will focus on what I don’t want. Nice capture.

Auto-focus can disappoint but when it is a rush, what can you do?

Most fire engines go by so fast that they are a blur to the human eye. This was a good opportunity to capture a fire truck as seen by the human eye. I like it!

Lucky, I think, on that one. If I hadn’t had the camera out already it would not have happened.

The fire brigade can give some great photo opportunities – trouble is, you don’t usually have time to change your autofocus selection as they speed by on a shout! Good effort

But it all came together so well!
