The places your camera takes you... On this photography journey I have a heightened awareness of potential 'shots'. Even before the challenge I often found myself caught breathless at the sight of the perfect shadow, a glorious wash of light, or a magical feeling in the sky...all the while thinking....there is a 'shot' here. Now, that I am on a daily task to capture photos for the challenge I often find myself in 1 of 2 places:
1. With my camera...literally hunting around me in a 360 looking for some sort of shot. "I just need to find something here."
2. Without my camera...in front of the perfect scene with the perfect light. "I can't believe I don't have my camera!"
I am definitely carrying my camera with me more places more often- but sometimes I just don't have it there for those amazing shots. And so...they sit undeveloped in my minds eye. Like tonight...while driving home from Cumberland when I drove alongside a slope covered in tall white, dry grass...this slope was juxtaposed against a very dramatic dark cloud sky and it all just popped out at me all of a sudden! But, alas I was driving...and there was an impatient Mustang behind me so...I drove on.

I love the skull! It was a great shot for the day! I totally understand what you are saying about seeing the perfect scene without a camera in hand. That was my trip to Port Alberni on Sunday. The whole way, I kept telling Jen "that would make an awesome picture". LOL! Good luck with the quest to keep camera in hand for the perfect situation!
