Pushing off

 

One’s reaction time — typically about 0.2 seconds — isn’t small enough to photograph some fleeting events: once something interesting is seen, the press of a camera button always comes too late to record it. Inevitably, some pictures are little more than mistakes where an attemptĀ to capture one thing results in another.

The instant a dipper pushed off was an inadvertent, if delightful, capture.
