A Lucky Shot
A cyclist makes his way into my shot of the masjid
This picture was taken on my walk along the Sharjah Corniche on January 6th 2010, shortly after dawn. I framed my shot carefully, right in front of the minbar, to exploit the symmetry of the building. As I clicked, I noticed a blur as a cyclist strayed into my shot. I had just enough time for one more shot before he left, and this second shot is what you see here. I think the lucky addition of this man into the frame makes this a better shot than the one I was planning.
