Times Square, 11:00 PM
Oh, how I waited to get this shot – waited for the vendor to be visible despite the enveloping steam from his food truck and waited for the scrolling messages on his electronic sign to display my favorite one. Many times I had one, but not the other. The magic was in capturing the two together.
Fuji X100T, fixed 23 mm f/2.0 lens, 1/60 sec. @ f16 ISO, 6400 (handheld)

Isnt it nice when it pays off. It was great that you knew what you wanted and not looked back later and thought what if… the vendor had of been visible. Good eye and great patience thoroughly paying off 🙂

The rewards obviously come to those who wait. And it’s challenging if your companions aren’t photographers and they’re moaning about getting a move on.

Oh, I can so relate. In fact, when my husband asks if I want him to come with me, 99% of the time my answer is no 😉. He has golf – I have my photography 🙂
