Ben 5/100 - a photo on Flickriver

Ben 5/100

When I visited Black Rock to take Far Away, I met Ben and his friends. Ben lives in Tibshelf, a little village a few miles away. They had driven out in his car to enjoy the view, the sunset and celebrate their independence in the way I remember so well from my own youth.

I can tell you that this spot is an 18 second run from where the camera is, back from the promontory the camera is on, over a few large rocks, between a small ravine and then up on to this rock with just 2 seconds to regain your composure and then click. I can tell you that, because I tried to use the same spot for my own shot but couldn't get the remote to work - wrong angle. Between takes, Ben went out to this spot to admire the view and I shamelessly used him to check my focus and composition. He also helped me with my final composition, even nonchalantly making a call whilst dangling his feet over the edge.

I did try and take a picture of him with his friends (safely back from the edge) but without success. Still, here he is, a fellow lover of a big view from a high up spot.

This is Ben, #5 of 100 strangers, taken for the 100 strangers project.
