A Day With My Kite
Description: Last weekend, my parents were in town and we spent one afternoon walking along Crissy Field, me with my camera, my Dad with his. As we crossed the grassy field from Sport Basement, a solo kite flier stood in the middle of the field with his kite perfectly silhouetted on the cloud. As I started to prepare to capture the moment, I noticed the boat crossing under the bridge and decided to wait for it to get a bit further onto the right side of the frame to balance out the picture a bit more. When the time was right, I fired off 3 or 4 frames.
Back at home, I decided to tone down the colors and create a “darker” scene for the final image.
