Abbey road

I was strolling near Talad Bobae (a huge market) when I approached the tracks and saw three monks walking. I knew they would cross the tracks as the wat (buddhist temple/abbey) is located just behind the railroad. So I sped up, overtook them, crossed the tracks and pretended I was about to photograph the bridge in the background. Unfortunately, they walked a bit faster than I'd wished and even though I had time to focus on where they were likely to step, I had to resign myself to use the Program mode for the exposure. I hate this mode for the reason that this picture highlight: I had rated the film at 800 ISO and despite that, the camera chose a tiny aperture (causing the uselessly huge depth of field) and a slow shutter speed (apparently something around 1/30) which has given me a perfectly focused frame from the foreground to the horizon but with a blurry subject. They weren't running!
