Timing and Framing, Two Very Important Factors to Get a Good Photo!

Here is my submission for the Тravel Photo Contest, Edition #6 by @lightcaptured.

Picking up a single photo between my collection and say it's the best is completely impossible... so I picked a photo which required a bit of luck and a perfect combination of factors, meaning it would never be possible to take the exact same photo, even if I tried.

Due to the movement of the water and the wind, it took me a while to take a shot of this water fountain where the rainbow would extend all the way to the surface of the water. After a few tries, I succeded.

Here are a few failed attempts...

See what I mean? There's a break in the rainbow. 😑

And on this shot, I had nailed the timing... only to realise I had cut off the top of the tree above it. Dang it. Back to the starting grid. 🙃

Finally, I got it right. The timing was perfect and I framed it correctly, too.

This photo was taken in Riga and I had previously shared it, via Busy.org. Now I have re-uploaded it using eSteem and you can see the difference.

Above is the original photo, uploaded with eSteem. Resolution: 4208 x 2816

Below is the photo uploaded in Busy.org which ended in my post 8 months ago. Resolution: 640 x 454

This is a huge, really humongous difference! And this is the reason why I have been using eSteem for most of my posts, and I believe it's totally fair that @esteemapp keeps 10% of my rewards... After all, someone has to pay for the Amazon Cloud Servers where the photos are being stored.

The alternative would be to downsize our photos... and I, for one, wouldn't want that.
