More light

Yesterday it was about fiddling with light sources to make an unusual image. This post is about capturing a moment when the light was just right. Seems to me that these are the two approaches you can take to photography: to arrange the lighting creatively and capture the image you had in your mind's eye; or to record the light as it changes, waiting for that perfect moment. Personally I prefer the latter approach. Perhaps it's not as creative as working in a studio. On the other hand, there's something very rewarding about being there when the light is really beautiful, and having your camera handy.
