These are lovely shots Galen, as always! I think frustration is always there, no matter what the conditions are, there's always something that is not right. Yesterday I took a bunch of photos and had no idea what I'm doing as the light was so strong. The photos turned out ok, regardless of what I saw on the screen 😂. Who said photographing is easy, right?
Thanks Erikah, I appreciate it.
I feel your pain with the light being wrong and not really knowing how to account for it, that's why I've shifted my focus away from seeking great photos and more towards enjoying the process of getting bad to average ones. Lol.
My problem was the light on my screen. Basically you can't see what's on your phone screen, but it's ok as we don't work with film or paper, so the delete button takes care of it 😃
Oh yeah, that's an issue for sure. I wear Oakley wrap-around sunglasses all the time when outside and they're prescription lenses too so looking at my phone of camera screen is problematic. I generally make it work but get annoyed when I think I've got the shot, leave and come home, then realise I haven't got a good one. Sucks.
It sure does. I came in the room, downloaded the photos and was looking to see if I have to go back and do some shooting again. Luckily these scenes are here tomorrow as well, but when you're traveling, you don't have that luxury. Win some, lose some I guess, as it happens with everything in life.
I one dropped my whole camera when on holiday in Byron Bay, northern New South Wales. Just in case you are thinking to give it a try...don't. I would have been happy to have some bad photos instead of dropping the whole damned thing. Oh well, lesson learned.
