Same Place Different Light - the advantage of having go to spots

@alpinelifer · 2022-01-31 14:49 · PhotoFeed

When you wander aimlessly as much as I do you find little gems that work in all kinds of conditions

These go to spots make it easy to shoot a good composition on short notice.

dmarkel_gettys-189.jpg With a wide angle lens and a perch on a little rock outcropping this scene along Kamloops Lake has been in my photos many times. This image I was out on a sunset shoot. I took this photo as a consolation prize after the sunset fizzled to nothing.

Having spots you can go to with short notice is essential for any photographer. The trick is to keep the really good ones to yourself. 😉
