Well I was jogging with a full hiking pack through the bush (to get to my destination before the sun went away), and came up to a ridge clear of trees where I could see this view. The sunbeam in the gap of the clouds lasted about 90 seconds, enough time for me to change lenses, then faded while I watched. If I were a couple minutes faster or slower, I would have just seen a drab grey skyline. Happy little accident.

You wouldn’t believe it. I was just walking along when suddenly I tripped and my camera just fell out of my bag into my hands and the lens cap also came off and it turned itself on and I was fumbling around and the viewfinder just landed on my eye and my finger slipped right past the shutter button, it was so close! But that’s when I realized it just happened to be in focus and lined up with this landscape, what an incredible confidence, so I took the picture.

Most of my best pictures are also accidents. That’s just how it is with photography, man.

Sorry, my bad, I’ve updated the title. Cheers!
