Proof of Angels

Proof of Angels

This photo was taken in 1907 on a Nikon D80 at a ridiculously high shutter speed because angels move so fast…

Would I lie to you??

    Thanks all, it’s great that you all appreciate it. The shot was actually taken on a WA beach with his mum holding him in the air… I had to get right under him to get the effect and fortunately he looked straight at me. Now, let’s hope the parents are equally happy when I give it to them next week in a frame :)
