Over the Weekend
Walked into the dunes before light to discover there were tracks from people and critters everywhere, which is not what I was hoping for. Spent a few minutes shooting before sunup and then made it down to the shore. I would call walking through dune sand with a pack a labor of love and prefer walking the firmer path along the shore when possible so I decided to take the long way back along the water. Not until I had driven to another location did I realise my trigger realease was missing. I think I have went through more than 10 releases over the last decade due to forgetting them, or wire fatigue. I had just received this one in the mail and was mad at myself for being so scatterbrained. I like to shoot in MUP mode especially with a long lens and I had plans to use a telephoto, so I begrudgingly drove back to Sleeping Bear Point and retraced my steps. Of course the release was laying in the sand where this shot was made only the sun was much higher and hotter by then.
