Waiting sucks. (A rant brought to you by Strad.)

[camz]

It took me well over a year to get the kind of sky I wanted to get this shot...

Good photography involves a lot of waiting and timing.

And yeah... it's really annoying.

Chris...is that OCF I see?? :thumbup:

Nice shot!

Sorry op

 

[ann]

forget the kid, that is a terrific bridge.

 

[Stradawhovious]

Sorry op

Meh. It TPF...... Kind of par for the course...... Besides, its a killer shot, and it's only right to give credit where credit is due......


Well, now back to me.

I decided that the one of the pics looked almost better in B&W.......

I've got to tell you, this photography thing is shaping up to be all kinds of fun.....

I wonder if that comes with age? She has the can't sit still ants in the pants problem and the I can't sit still I just wanna dance problem.

I would take the little one..... But he's 8, and has the attention span of a Ferret on crack. A location shoot with him would be futile.

This cracked me up.. :lmao:

And that is a great place. I'm sure you will ed up with tons of great ideas/photos the more you play with the place.

Camz. Yes, OCF. Probably my only one! Thanks for the comment, and thanks as well to you OP.

Sorry, wasn't trying to hijack so much as show an example. I literally drove by that cemetery every day for a year and would stare at the skies endlessly while at work figuring ... one day ... I would get the skies I need and need to leave early. Sure enough we had this stormy week with this WILD skies and wind howling. I quickly cleared my calendar, coughed a lot, and left. 15 mins later I was setup and shooting.

knowing many will find this strange, but what is OCF? little oldladies have a hard keeping up with all the shorthand these days found on the internet.

OCF = Off Camera Flash.

 

[ann]

thanks, i was racking my brain on this one, but sense i don't use flash, that never occured to me.

 

[Stradawhovious]

but sense i don't use flash, that never occured to me.

I just discovered off camera flash just recently .... Nothing like futher confusing an already complicated hobby, right?

Its an amazing amount of fun. If you every want to spend a few hundred bucks for the opportunity to get frustrated, do a lot of studying, learn some new vocabulary and pull out some hair...

Buy a couple of speedlights.
