I was walking by Mad Dog Cycles this evening when I noticed that their sign was fairly striking, and could make a reasonable photo for today. I've stopped by their shop a decent number of times, and found them helpful and with reasonable prices.
As I got closer to the sign I realized that there was, unfortunately, glare from a couple of spotlights mounted above the sign. In order to eliminate the glare, I would have to either stand far off to the side (which would ruin the dead-on look that had attracted me), or stand really far back (but I didn't have a lens that would let me do that).
Then I realized, while I tried a different vantage point to try to hide the glare on the less-reflective parts of the sign, that the spotlights did a very nice job of lighting up the dog's eyes—which seemed entirely fitting for a mad dog.
When I get back from my mission, you should teach me a bit about photography. My interest in it has definitely been growing, and I'd love to make it a hobby. I'm sure Ecuador will make me wish to be a photographer even more, too.
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to! I'm sure you're right—there ought to be plenty of interesting subjects in Ecuador.
