Pictures of the Week: July 21-27
He falls, she shoots. The photograph of Darvis "Doc" Patton, a runner from the U.S., tumbling head-over-heels after winning the silver medal in the men’s 100 meters at the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro is a great example of why you may want to linger a little while longer beyond what you think might be the "moment," just in case something else presents itself.
In this case, the "moment" that made this a great photo was not planned nor expected. I would imagine that the photographer's original intent was to capture a good image of these three leaders at the finish line, but by following the action a little bit longer, she was able to capture a great image.
So as you take your own pictures this week, let the lens linger just a little bit longer than you planned and see what you capture. Let me know how it turns out and take a look at all the other great images in this week's Pictures of the Week gallery.
