Yes, that's the move! I have room to grow, for sure. Acknowledge the disappointment as briefly as possible and rebound into exactly the mindset you described. I'll get there 😎

I'm slowly transitioning out of being primarily a commercial and studio photographer so whenever I happen upon a scene I want to capture I have to remind myself light changes, clouds move, nature is alive by definition. It's oddly hard to change my mindset to both slow down and enjoy + get the shot

I aspire to that level of forethought in situations like that, as opposed to my utter panic and hope.

Happy #forestfriday! New lens showed up today so I'll be headed into the forest all day tomorrow to put it through its paces. Hopefully I'll have something rad for next Friday #pnw #oregon #eastcoastkin #scape #mounthood #photography #photographersunited #photographyofbluesky #landscapephotography

Today, in a move that has alarmed conservationists, the Department of the Interior unveiled a proposal to rescind the Bureau of Land Management’s Public Lands Rule—effectively removing conservation as an equal priority in public-land management. #publiclands #BLM #protectpubliclands #parkchat

Little crater lake surrounded by trees with a blue sky and scattered clouds. The water is a very unique blue and teal. Trees are reflecting back into the water.

I did a lot of driving around out there today, just location scouting after Beacon Rock, and I was shocked at how much there was to see. Tons of trailheads, lots of beautiful backroads to explore, I just was not expecting that. I will 100% be back after some online exploration.
