More from Oaxaca

I realized I hadn't shared any more shots from my Oaxaca trip and I had promised to do so. This one is of a farmer in Zaragosa picking ripe "cherries." I made this shot by simply lifting the camera up into the tree and pointing it down. I was fully wide (17mm) and shot without looking. I got a few really nice ones using the same technique.

I had never been in that environment and I certainly had never seen a coffee tree. I just let my intuition be my guide and took note of the best light and most dynamic action. And becasue It's not enough to simply shoot but also to participate. I found a little time to pick some beans as well.

Make pictures.
