One of the biggest changes I’ve made with my photography over the past year or so, is to embrace the harsh light that’s not technically ‘golden hour’.

I used to think taking photos of anything other than sunrise or sunset was a waste of time, but I’ve come to really enjoy the challenge of capturing places in full sunlight.

Not gonna lie… I don’t mind the extra couple hours sleep either 👀

The bucket shot! ⚡️

I still can not believe I got this shot last night…

Someone mentioned how lucky I got, and, honestly, I was thinking the same thing.

Then I remembered that ‘luck’ was the result of literally years of running outside for every storm, missing the perfect shot because my settings were off, or lighting struck between exposures, or the shot being ruined because the lens was soaked.

99 times out of 100 I come home drenched with nothing to show for it.

Because of those ‘failures’ I was able to find the right spot, get the settings perfect first go, and capture this shot within 5 minutes of walking out my door last night.

Sometimes you make your own luck!
