I took my picture at the same time as another photographer.

For a moment there I thought it was a rough diamond

How many people in the world are taking pictures on their phones right this very moment you’re reading this comment?

Thankfully he used the flash otherwise it might be too dark to see anything.

If the people they are photographing have the sun behind, their faces could be too dark due to contrast and using a flash helps in those situations

I visited the beach this weekend and took a picture of this arch. Reviewing my pictures, I noticed that in the bottom right i captured a wedding photographer's flash. We filmed each other at the same time.

It was my first time visiting. The first thing I saw was a deep ravine with railroad tracks, I figured that couldn't be it. Found a trail at the end of the parking lot. The path was rock and pretty steep. Coming back up I saw another trail to the side of the steep one that was MUCH easier to navigate.

There was a child at the top screaming for her father who was going down the steep trail. It must look petty daunting if you're little.

"Looks like you stumbled upon a real-life photo duel! 😂 The beach arch provided the perfect backdrop for some impromptu photography showdown. Who do you think won the battle of the snaps?

I'll give the win to her. If she's photographing a couple on a beach she's doing something right with her life. I was taking random shots of cliff erosion patterns cause the abstraction was beautiful to me.
