14Mar19-PhotoShow: This one was among my favorite road trips. I was a bit more comfortable with what I was doing even in the bright sun. I broke this shoot into several sections. There were over a thousand shots to curate – 😯. There is an ocean segment you saw yesterday, a flower section I haven’t worked yet, a segment looking back towards land in the most eye-catching scenes, and then there is this one.
I was looking over the edge of one cliff to see how high I was, when an Egret decided he’d had enough of the surf creeping up on it and took off right below me. I was ready for once and shot the entire sequence. That ascent made for two-hundred of the images I made that day. I used only 22 for the show. The video after my intro slide was created by Gemini after I told it what the slideshow was about. Not too shabby. I hope you enjoy this. Sound on.

Rise Up
There were several things I did differently on this trip. Remember, I’d had some pretty horrific looking sun shots before these. The biggest change was a combination of arrival time and a willingness to move. I got out real early and arrived along the coast at the start of Golden Hour. I found better spots by repositioning instead of making the one I wanted no matter what. I would find a scene that put the sun behind me as as much as possible. This of course required a flexibility to move to a more favorable shooting spot even if it meant you missed the shot you wanted. Better than getting home and finding them all washed out or too dark.
