It was mention in one discussion that no matter the gear, if you managed to capture what Cartier Breson called the &#8220;decisive moment&#8221;, it would make for a good photo. The shot above is one time I have managed to do exactly that. Pete is a friend of a friend, who I have only met 2 or 3 times, but this photo captured him perfectly. The boy can giggle. This shot was taken with one of my old film cameras, a Nikon FE with a Sigma 24 f\/2.8 lens. Shot under pretty ordinary lighting, it captures Pete having one of those moments where you just let it all hang out. We had just all been told a rather dirty joke that obviously tickled Pete&#8217;s fancy. Although the photo isn&#8217;t technically great, the content more than makes up for it. I get a bigger buzz out of this sort of photo than some technically great shot or some arty shot that I fluked.<\/p>\n<p>Love to hear peoples thoughts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big Pete, originally uploaded by norbography.
