MONOMAD PHOTOGRAPHIC CHALLENGE - Street

I was waiting for him to exhale....

The guy on the park bench was smoking and whenever he exhaled the smoke made a big back-lit cloud all around him. I thought it looked cool but I was never able to get my little Fuji to focus quick enough to capture it.

Eventually, I realized I needed to switch to manual focus, and after this, the camera would shoot instantly... but the moment was gone. I still enjoyed the street scene with people passing by in the warm evening sun.

Just across the street, this couple was enjoying the evening. Why the guy is checking his phone instead of paying attention to the girl, I will never understand! :)
