One night in Budapest, I was walking (they call it promenading) down by the Danube. Looking to the river, I caught site of a couple sitting on a bench, silhouetted by the light of a bridge against the darkness of the water. It made for a very nice scene, and I thought about walking closer and seeing if it would look just as good in the viewfinder as it did to the eye.
Nope. Besides, I felt just a bit skeevey sneaking up on a couple intent on making the most of their secluded privacy and snapping a picture of their intimate moment. So I began to return to the walkway that follows the river when I noticed this little nugget just waiting for me and my camera.
Tripod down, exposure approximated, cable release attached and one of my very favorite images that I’ve created was born.
