It was a decisive moment kind of situation, with me standing around for half an hour or so taking shots form different angles. Tech notes: The shot was taken with a 28mm equivalent. I cropped the frame 16:9 to give it a more cinematic feel, using the boy on the right for layering and framing to give it a sense of intimacy and immediacy.
