Stay With What Excites You

As a photographer there are those times when you get excited by what you see

That was the case in this scene

Their positioning on the dock grabbed me

 I knew from past experience that I would get a better vantage point compositionally so I moved

….hoping they would not

Lucky for me they were enjoying the moment 

and the extra time I took to move

paid off


Two Docks ~ meant more options

Here I didn't have the option of a second vantage point

But compositionally my subjects did the work for me

This one brings me back to a workshop with Jay Maisel last summer

"you see something in front of you 

and you're thinking -don't move-

and the second thought is to myself

-don't screw this up-

of course with JM 

the language was a bit more colorful!

 if something excites me

I stay with it

as do most people

sometimes it works out

and sometimes not

My thoughts - it worked out just as it was supposed to

enjoy,
