The nearly silent leaf shutter is always a bonus.

A single frame: Why and how I captured this shot.

I was at dinner with long-time photography friend Brett Payne, in old-town Bilbao. I glanced up and noticed the table next to us. I didn’t want to intrude or break the mood as the diner lost himself in the painting. I kept my camera on the table and estimated the framing.

More photos from this project are in Camino de Santiago.

    Silent shutters help keep quiet moments quiet. Technology can be helpful.
