The Doctors appointment
It seems that I'm always on my way to an appointment or a commitment when I stumble across a scene such as this.
Ah...to be a vlogger, setting up my GoPro on a tripod, following my footsteps as I traipse through pastures of low-lying fog, scouting out compositions as my drone tracks my movements from above, for those awesome cinematic aerials. Time. Planning out the exact location of the sunrise over the peak of a barn's roof with my PhotoPills app. Time. Deciding on the proper location, the correct lens, height of the camera, encompass more in the foreground or less, vertical or horizonal, (sorry, portrait or landscape) hay, I still think of ISO, as ASA. Exposure setting's, viewing histograms, checking previews for sharpness. In a perfect world all of this requires time. Time I just did not have yesterday morning. Rolling past this beautiful scene on the way to my doctor's appointment forty miles away, (despite leaving early and facing a no-show fee of $50.00 for being late, or the dreaded re-schedule), I was tempted to just fly by and chalk it up as the one that got away. Time. But I know how I am! I had to stop. I backed my car up about a 1/8th mile, blinkers on of course, to get the right composition. I quickly rolled down my window, grabbed my K70 with a 300mm lens on it, only because it had the only SD card in it that I brought. Nope, wrong focal length. I then grabbed my K3 with the Tamron 70-200, perfect. A quick change of the SD card into the K3 body, and I was ready to shoot. Time. I'm going to be late, keep shooting! Moving the car forward and backward I was able to change the composition, all before the sun turned to blahness. I'm really going to be late!
Even the best vlogger's leave the scene when they except that the images they got, are the best that they could get. I left knowing that, with the little time I had to shoot, I did OK. Ah, to be vlogger.
PS, In good health, no late fees, and no dreaded re-schedule!
