Photographers Comment
Taken by John Shingleton, Australian, living in Terrigal , NSW, Australia. Photo taken in Bidiyah, a desert town in central Oman, in December 2018.
I were driving through the town in a 4WD when I spotted a group of small children waving to us. I asked the driver to stop so I could take some photos- which were not special. Then as we pulled away I spotted these two small children running after us. I was sitting in the passenger seat beside the driver and luckily my window was still wound down. I did not have time to put my camera to my eye or frame the scene on the LCD so I just held the camera out of the window and hoped.
I was using my Leica Q which focused really quickly on the children. The photo was far from straight which I corrected in Lightroom and it is a crop equivalent to about a 46mm lens.
