A rare wry look, or one of long-standing resignation?

    Aw, dang it – I said it again. Oh for heaven’s sake, he said it again.

    The latter I suspect. I imagine my wife has a similar expression when I start to whistle the theme tune to Game of Thrones 🙂
    Despite the B&W the lady’s hat looks brightly coloured.

    I just don’t know how you manage to insert yourself into the scene like that, or get out of it intact.
    It would be interesting to see a documentary about you so we can see the whole process from hunt, to shot, to disarming smile, to escape.

      I suspect mine does too, for a multitude of reasons!

      There’s not a great deal to it to be honest. I’d pre-focused already, so it was simply a matter of lifting the camera and pressing the shutter. All done so quickly that they didn’t even notice. So no smile needed!
