Planning and time management

2 things I learned tonight..1.) planning out, or having a goal for a photo walk is really useful and 2.) time management is needed in photography..or you'll miss the sunset!

 Tonight I headed out to Quarry Hill in hopes of snagging a good sunset shot. I got there around 645 and boy was it soggy out! The first thing I noticed was how high the water was and how quick it was moving. I remember back when Joel and I first went to Quarry Hill last fall that we stumbled upon a spot with some rapids that would do for a long exposure shot so I headed that way. After a few minutes of set up, lens change, and filter prep I was ready to roll. After a few test shots I got a nice shot that I was happy with.




Yet, then my poor time management came in and I missed my sunset shot! In all reality it was worth it to get my first water long exposure, but if only I could have gotten them both! I also ran into a person from the Rochesterian group on flickr and I need to set up a legit photo walk around Rochester! Goal of this week: plan a photo walk/s for the flickr group.
