Oops, touched the shutter button to soon...
Posted By: Fries, 09-06-2018, 12:26 PM

I normally don't share photo's that are a write of. But this one... This is wat happened. To end a big restoration program two public officials were releasing two ducks into the air. My camera was in the wrong drive mode and I had to film this at the same time with another camera on a tripod when I had to shout to stop the proceedings because another photographer moved into my shot. In short, it was messy! In between filming I quickly made a JPG out of the raw file and then made some fast edits after I transferred it to my phone and send it to the newsroom. When I arrived my colleagues where smiling...a lot! I did too after seeing it on a bigger screen. I won't describe what it made them funny to them...

Cheers,

Remco

Thanks Dave! And these are elected officials. (And for anybody reading this; be careful with political charged reactions or puns which are frowned upon here for obvious reasons.)

I do think both the ducks have the right to be slightly embarrassed. Thanks!

Thanks! The official on the left is not in office anymore. Coincidence?

Somehow, I missed this post when it first appeared. Thank you - this is the first time I've really smiled all day; your shot - and cocktail hour - have revived my sense of humor.
