The sky looked threatening with what was left from storm clouds that wouldn’t open up and rain on San Diego, but it did make for an interesting backdrop for this photo.

Shadow Flight
Some of the more than one thousand competitors in the annual Mission Bay Triathlon start the three-event competition by swimming in San Diego’s Mission Bay. It seems like there’s a race of some kind in San Diego most every weekend most of the year, so making a different kind of photo is the challenge. When Mother Nature cooperated by providing the dramatic sunrise, all I had to do was wait for the swimmers as they went by the boat ramp I was standing on along with a lot of the family and friends. I added a little flash fill for good measure. After that, it was just like shooting fish in a barrel.
