When your disadvantage becomes your opportunity

16. October 2009 by Friedhelm.

The wind was blowing and I did not have a tent with me to photograph. You try to focus on your subject and it moves through your viewfinder. A nightmare for every photographer. In order to get at a clear image I had to use ISO 400 instead of ISO 100 and I had to open up my lens to shoot at 1/1250 sec to freeze the action. Then I had to take several shots  to capture the flower at the right moment. When I looked at the image on my computer I discovered the wind had created an interesting composition. Plant particles were flying through the air creating a dynamic that I would nit have captured on a calm day. It taught me a lesson. Never give up in adverse condition. There is always the chance that you photograph something interesting.

Enjoy and have a great day!
