Lighting
I saw a great picture I wanted to capture, this morning, of the Freemont Bridge in Portland absolutely glowing in the first 30 minutes after sunrise against a deep, dark sky. So, as I strolled across the parking lot to the perfect spot to capture the image, I let my mind wander through the fact that if I were a professional photographer or a truly obsessed photographer, I'd be running to that spot up there with bags banging against me and people turning to gape at the whacko with the cameras, etc.
When I arrived at my destination, I put my coffee down gently and out of the way, popped the lens cap, set the camera to the exposure settings that I knew I'd want for this shot, looked up at my bridge, and the light had changed and I'd lost my shot.
Teach me to think instead of Do, eh?
