I’m very partial to this shot. This was “fishing” rather than “hunting,” as in, I found the composition I liked and then waited in the same spot for quite some time before hitting the shutter button. The crowd was tending to move towards me and I wanted to capture a compelling scene. Another aspect of this shot that gave me confidence is that this was my first time using the waist-level viewfinder for the Pentax. The viewfinders are interchangeable, and the waist level version is a little collapsable square on top of the camera that lets you look down and see a large enough rendering that you don’t need to bring the camera up to your eyes.
