My Tiny Planets #35: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

I was exploring the area around the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium in Las Palmas. There wasn't much going on, except for the ocean just being beautiful. I saw this windsock on an empty corner and thought it was the perfect spot for a symmetrical tiny planet shot.

This is then one of the moments that annoys me most when trying to make a 360 tiny planet. These girls somehow feared that I was going to "take their spot" and they rushed towards it, dropped their stuff and weren't planning on leaving soon. They couldn't have known that my camera would capture them even when I continued to look towards the ocean. But what do you do? I didn't want to ask them to leave just so that I could get the empty shot that I wanted. Because, as you can see, they would have had to move quite a lot to not disturb the shot. And I don't own that spot, I have no right to tell people they can't be there. With a normal camera, you can often work around people. Just by timing or angle. Or people would just try to stay out of your photo if they notice you trying to take one. So yeah, I waited half an hour for them to leave and they didn't. And in memory of me eating myself up waiting, I took this photo. Forever am I stuck on this tiny planet with these people ;)
