How do you thank someone you hardly know?
My friend Kevin was kind enough to send me some Google pins to locations in San Diego for some night photography work a few weeks back. We had never met before but had some friendly conversations in photography groups we are both linked to on Facebook. To return the favor I invited him up to Los Angeles for a 1 on 1 night photography workshop I offer, free of charge.
As with all photography you want to plan your shots out a bit; this was not one of them. Kevin wanted to take a shot of the rocks from a bluff above the beach. After he got into place I set my bag down so that I could take a quick breather from running around in the sand below from comp to comp. It wasn't even 10 seconds before I saw his silhouette against the dark sky and knew that I couldn't pass up on the opportunity to snap a few shots of my new friend in action...

Yes it certainly is unreal to see. I wish our eyes could adjust like this @remic2005
Wonderful to see this meetup due to steemit and great catch :)
Thank you @fitinfun! So far Steemit has been a pretty great resource for inspiration!
I totally agree. I just got here and the inspiration is flowing for me too :)
What a great shot! I'm sure he's thankful you were on your game!!
@christiesnelson he asked me right afterwords if he could use the photo for his social media. I haven't the heart to say "pay me!" haha
