A lucky photo by Jack Owens

My friend Tim has always loved photography and has asked me a million times to go with
him to the forest and take photos of the wildlife there. I’ve always said no, because the idea
of looking at some trees all day doesn’t seem at all interesting. Anyway, last week I agreed
to go with him. He told me that he wanted to take a photo to enter a competition, and
needed someone to help him carry his equipment. The journey there wasn’t too long, and
the forest was a beautiful place to be. But I was bored after an hour, and we couldn’t leave
because Tim didn’t have any good pictures yet. So, I started playing games on my mobile
phone. ‘Put that thing away,’ Tim said. ’Just enjoy nature.’ Shortly after, we started walking
again and then Tim stopped suddenly. He pointed at a tree and said quietly, ‘That’s a rufous
hummingbird. I’ve never seen one of them before!’ Tim put down his bag, got his equipment
out and started cleaning the lens on his camera. However, the hummingbird flew from the
tree and came to a flower next to me. I wanted to shout at Tim to quickly take a picture of it,
but I knew the hummingbird would fly away. So, I took a picture with my mobile phone.
When Tim was finally ready, the hummingbird was not there anymore and he was very
annoyed. He didn’t manage to take any good pictures that day, but on our way back to the
car, I showed him the picture of the hummingbird on my mobile phone. He couldn’t believe it.
‘It’s perfect!’ he said. In the end, we entered my photo into the competition and won second
prize in the Nature category.
