I've been trying to get this shot (or similar) for about a week now ...
The shot was taken from across the street, because that was the only possible way to get
the angle. I think people sitting at the tables outside the IFC Mall must have thought
I was crazy; not only was I very very carefully setting up a shot of a burger joint, but
every now and then I would suddenly pick up the camera and move a few centimetres (or
sometimes metres) to left or right to try to line up the arrow and the head again after
my subject moved. I don't think anyone would have guessed what I was trying to do though!
The idea for the shot occured to me when I was sitting inside eating a burger early this week,
and my mind was drifting. (I like their burgers, but I don't find them suitable for take-away,
because there's usually a lot of sauce and the bun can get soggy if you don't eat it soon enough.)
