I focused carefully and shot one … two … three frames until I noticed with a sinking feeling that my shutter speed was at a very low 30th-60th of a second. Any camera buff knows that a shutter speed that slow is impossible hand-held with an 800mm focal length. I was leaning out over a balcony and peeking around a corner. I faced the reality that the moment was lost." Amazing moment. Incredible photo. It's really sad that most Chinese don't recognize the picture (according to the article) because of censorship.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It really helps to put our lives in perspective and perhaps gives us cause to pause in our complaining about our individual obstacles.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
