[quote][b]Toffle (6/1/2008)[/b][hr]Thank you, Robert for the excellent article. I'm glad you included #10 "Don't stress over what you missed".

We all miss shots, sometimes through error, sometimes through circumstance. There's no point fussing over it. Sometimes it's a lesson in being better prepared, and other times it is a lesson that some shots simply aren't ours to take. [/quote]

Thanks Tom. One of the toughest lessons for me to learn, was that sometimes you need to accept that you can only take pictures with your "eyes".

Thank you, Robert for the excellent article. I'm glad you included #10 "Don't stress over what you missed".

We all miss shots, sometimes through error, sometimes through circumstance. There's no point fussing over it. Sometimes it's a lesson in being better prepared, and other times it is a lesson that some shots simply aren't ours to take. Being primarily a black and white photographer, I have been caught more than once by a scene of surpassing [b][i]colourful[/i][/b] beauty, which would have been rendered meaningless on the film I had available. What do I do in a situation like that? Experience and enjoy it. To me, this goes hand in hand with the concept of "living life through a lens." When I travel, even for photographic purposes, I try to maintain a balance of activities that sometimes force me to put my cameras down. I am more afraid of the regret of failing to appreciate an experience than I am to miss photographing it.

Thanks again for the article.

Cheers,

I've published a new article titled "10 Practices for Better Landscape Photography". The article is an almost total re-write of an article I did a couple of years ago. I tried to take the practices I've developed over the years and present them in a way that may help others.
