Jump

It was a beautiful, sunny and hot summer day, at some moments a gentle and refreshing wind could touch our skins, I was with Tatsuro, a friend from the University, he joined me in the search of Semi (a.k.a Cicada).
From out of nowhere Tatsuro said "can you jump over that", having the camera with me I replied "I believe it is dangerous", he looked at me and said "I will jump, make a photo", I was surprised.
I hurried and prepared the camera as fast as I could, honestly I felt some pressure because I had only one shot, I was sure that failing would not bring the same mood to the photo in another attempt and asking him to jump again wouldn't have been good, I was afraid of not being able to capture the moment that was about to happen.
Everything happened so fast, I prepared the camera, set the Exposure to one that I thought was going to be fine, framed as fast as I could and then Tatsuro entered the frame, click; he landed without any problem and he was so happy, it was great to see that moment.
As he was smiling I was checking the photo and I liked the result, I could relax finally, I was lucky to see such a wonderful moment and be able to capture it.
