When you are traveling and you see a person doing something that would make a good picture -- but you missed it because you weren't fast enough or perhaps your camera was put away in your photo backpack -- ask the person to do it again for the camera. Instead of being frustrated that you weren't able to capture a great shot, step out of your comfort zone and simply ask for a second chance. Usually people are very nice and they will accommodate you. Not always, of course, but most of the time it's been my experience that they will do it a second time -- or even a third if you ask. In Burma, I asked this young monk to leap across the structures of this monastery because I missed it the first time, and he was very happy to have the attention. For this shot I used a Canon 5D Mark III and a 24-105mm lens. My shutter was 1/500, f/stop was f/10, and the ISO was 640.
