Painting Jesus

One good thing about candid photography is that sometimes you catch the darndest things.

I walked into a gift shop at the La Basílica, a grand church in Quito, to buy some batteries and found a man painting in the back.

Candidly, I asked him if I could photograph him painting. He more than obliged.

I showed him the photo on the LCD screen of my camera afterward, and he was amazed that I could get that good a photo with such poor lighting.

I thank Canon for that, as shooting with their cameras at 1600 ISO is like capturing a duck in the dark.

No duck here, just a guy painting Jesus.
