It’s doesn’t happen often, but it can.  Tonight it did. It’s 6:30 p.m., and my photo editor calls me, while on assignment, asking me to quickly turn around a feature picture for the next days paper. Because they are hurting for something cool. Ok, well there isn’t much light left, what are the chances I can get a cool enough picture in a short amount of time. Where do I go? I have no clue. I start driving looking at the sun set. My editor said get a sunset shot. Ok. How do I pull this off. As I drive, I come across an intersection that has the sun going down behind it.  I see silhouettes of cars going by with the sun behind. I think, maybe.  So I stand at the bottom of the hill and begin shooting cars driving by silhouetted by the setting sun. It’ Ok, but not cool. By now I am blinded by the sun, as I have been looking through the lens for about one minute or two. As I continue to try and shoot, I see out of the corner of my eye, bikers come across. All I can do is bang off a couple of frames, hoping they are in focus, because I can’t see anymore. Can’t really see, I head back to my car and gather myself. It’s pretty cool. Not perfect, but considering how much time I have. I’m happy. I shot this biker crossing E. Henry Street along S. Finley Avenue in Basking Ridge, NJ as the sun sets on the first day of Spring March 20, 2012.
