The lucky shot.<\/em><\/p>\n

They happen more often to some people than others!<\/p>\n

There is very little luck in a good photo. Even in timing the click. I once heard Karsh<\/a> in an interview say something like “Lucky shot? Funny, It’s always the same photographers who get lucky.”<\/p>\n

You know it’s not luck if you can reproduce the same (or very similar) photo again and again.<\/p>\n

One of our readers (thanks Heather!) shared a link to some ‘Lucky Shots<\/a>‘<\/em> with some commentary about luck and photography. What do you think?<\/p>\n
