Today I had a proper photo fail. I decided last-minute to visit a viewpoint nearby, at sunset, to practice my landscape photography. So I grabbed my gear and jumped in the car. It soon became apparent that I had left too late, and was literally chasing the sun as I sped down the road, effing and blinding at the learner drivers and lorries slowing me down. It wasn't a location I know very well, and so when I arrived I didn't quite recognise where to park, or where to go. Cue almost 30 minutes of aimless wandering and more cursing. By the time I found the location I wanted to be at, the sun had set, and because I was still rushing, I slipped and landed in mud, camera and all. Not a single photo was taken. The moral of the story? Proper preparation prevents piss-poor performance! Plan ahead, don't rush, and you're 100% more likely to a) take a photo and b) not end up covered in mud. On the plus side, I now know how to get to the location, and my bag is packed and ready for my s̶u̶n̶s̶e̶t̶ sunrise mission tomorrow 😏 • • • #theoutbound #imaginarymagnitude #photocinematica #somewheremagazine #dreamermagazine #burnmagazine #theimaged #freshairclub #broadmag #classicsmagazine #portbox #fivesixmag #oftheafternoon #phroommagazine #ig_landscape #archivecollectivemag #indiependentmag #thinkverylittle #fisheyelemag #take_magazine #photofilmy #concretewaveco #lensculture #exploreobserveshare #stademagazine #nuagesmagazine https://www.instagram.com/p/B63skNBnyvc/?igshid=dkzsuler4nbb
