I had planned where I wanted to take my pictures but they had to change 1 week before the deadline due to me getting covid. I was restricted to my home and balcony for a few days. Until a few days before the deadline. Therefore some of my plans changed and more inspiration grew.
Lessons Learned
- Never plan more than 1 week ahead during a pandemic. You will get sick right before your previous plans are about to unfold.
- Don´t assume that you can get close enough to a waterfall to take detailed pictures of the water (Freeze and Silky water pictures). You might have to settle for the river. Also, don´t stand with a non-waterproof camera, on ice, by a waterfall and rapid river… at leas´t if there isn´t a railing.
- High Key looks good but make sure the background isn´t wonky, otherwize you will have to crop.
- Look at the weather forecast to figure out when to take your pictures. You can´t take pictures of snow without snow and you can´t use a humidity sensitive camera in the rain.
