  • 038. 16 January 2008 - Hang Time<br /> <br /> My mate Shaun catching some big air, crisscrossing the dunes in the Dubai desert. It's a major family past time, and all members participate in various forms of off-road biking.<br /> <br /> It was a difficult day to shoot being overcast, I dislike the contrast between the desert sand and the grey sky. It just makes everything look dull. Had a small bit of luck as the shine was peeking through the clouds at the time I took this one.<br /> <br /> The action was good though, and managed to catch many shots of Shaun in the air - and his son - Brandon taking on the dunes on a quad. <br /> <br /> Good day was had all round!

    Love this shot! I have had a number of reluctant subjects, too...frustrating, but rewarding when you win them over. A woman from my work hates to have her photo taken. I happened to get a great shot of her at last years holiday party and recently it came up in conversation about those photos and she asked if she could have a copy of that one I took of her for her parents... I made a bunch of prints for her and brought them into work. I was not happy with my printer, so it was quite varied from b&w to desaturation, glamour glow, etc. She threw her arms around me and thanked me that she loved them and was so excited to share them. The other girls in the office said she had really like the pic, but hadn't wanted to bother me...no bother at all is it when your photography is appreciated. He should enjoy the fun of this shot, too!

    The friends of photogs have to be very patient souls.
