Openness

I was out shooting yesterday evening for a project that will remain un-named for now. This project required several things to come together *just* right, so I was focused rather intently on the factors that were going to change and make this picture super awesome.

As such, it took me a solid 10 minutes to realize I was surrounded by other potential pictures, each of them as good or better than the one that was in my head at the time.

While I waited for the sun to set, I shot the following:

Then as the light approached I got the pictures I wanted (sort of). I then ran from the approaching rain.

The moral of the story: look around and keep your mind open to the world around you. You are almost always surrounded by photos just waiting to be taken!
