FDT: mattress store edition


I had this idea this morning and it pretty much turned out how I imagined it. This mattress store is around the corner from where my son has tutoring. I waited until I picked him up to do this shot so he could keep an eye on my camera.

I parked the car and got my camera settings sorted out and took a couple test shots from the warm car, through the window. I set the camera up on the tripod behind my car (best angle from there), lined up my shot and then walked inside. There was no one inside except for the salesman sitting at his desk. He started to get up to walk over. I said, oh don't get up, I threw off my coat, positioned myself on the side of the bed, triggered the 10-second timer with my remote, and went facedown. I probably laid there for several seconds longer than I needed to, but I didn't want to get back outside to find out that I had taken a shot of me getting up from the bed. I told him thanks and went on my way.

One shot, and that was it. Often, that's the beauty of FDT. Happy FDT!!
