Gonna be a short one tonight, my friends. Hell, if it wasn’t for today’s experience I didn’t think
I’d be posting at all this week. So what happened?
As is our routine,
myself and Miss Gypsy the Dog were out for our daily walk on Somerset Beach
when inspiration struck; those steps leading down to the beach, half-buried in
the sand, would make for fantastic black and white images! So, as we finished
our walk, and while sitting at home afterwards, I thought about angles, gear,
light, time and all the other things you think about when preparing for a
shoot. About half an hour before sunset I loaded up the car with my gear and my
dog and we headed back down to the beach.
And man, that was absolutely
the right call!
Now, the shot I went
down there for is here:
What do you think? I
think I got the angle wrong. Shooting from slightly above the step, and a
little closer, might have given me the effect I wanted. How would you have shot
this? Let me know in the comments!
So I’m a little
disappointed with the image I went for, but look at the images I got because I
went out for a shoot tonight. It gave me a chance to really push the boat out,
processing-wise!
I’m rather proud of
what I got tonight, and I wouldn’t have gotten it if I hadn’t followed my gut! And
that’s my point. If your gut tells you it’s time to get your gear out and go
shoot, do it! Just consider what you might miss if you don’t...
Like I said, a short
one tonight, but I still hope you enjoyed the read!
