Getting Out There

My favourite times of day to take pics are sunrise and sunset - so, why do I never get OUT there enough to take more of them? It's easier in the winter, in the UK, as it's not fully light until gone 7am, so no excuses.

Today, for example, I was all good intentions to get up, and go down the river, take some snaps. It was even forecast to be frosty - ideal combination with the low morning light. What did I do - remained in bed for a further hour, and missed it all. Then, on the way to work, I felt bad I didn't get up. What's up with me? It takes effort to make a great picture, and lying in bed won't do it.

I'll try again tomorrow.

Well, its a bit like running. You just need to tell yourself that once or twice a week you have to get your lazy self out of bed and down to the river to take some pics. I, of course, am the same. Last Friday I planned to be on the beach to watch the sunrise and get a whole day of picture taking in. Instead, I watched the sunlight creep into the bedroom

...JUST DO IT...

You're right - I WILL try tomorrow, weather permitting. I'll even post a couple of the best pictures to prove I was out there. Should I buy a copy of that day's paper to prove it?

Good. Now, I am expecting some photos tomorrow so you can't let me down. I'm going to go out again this week to a different place. Peggy's Cove. Huge tourist spot. Loads of photos of the lighthouse. I hope to find some 'different' images...
