“To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson

Fire!
Another opportunity to capture our living history – this
time of the Revolutionary War. Tip of the lens cap to those men and women who
spend countless hours researching their characters and invest their hard-earned
money for outfits and ammunition! Timing was the key to getting the actual fire
from their muskets in my image. I watched the squad practice and paid close
attention to the leader who was barking out commands. After a couple of
practice runs, I was ready to get the fire I wanted. My camera was in burst
mode allowing me to take several shots in rapid succession. Using this
convenient tool, I was very sure that I would have the moment – and, I did!
Henri’s “precise moment to capture fleeting reality”
for me happened because of timing and my camera’s burst mode!
