How to notice images in familiar places

I thought I knew this place quite well, especially since I walk here almost every single day. And yet, I found something that surprised me a lot, and taught me an important lesson about photography.

A mild and moody summer
in journal
Southern Europe has had a terrible summer so far. Thankfully, here in Galicia things have been very mild. Better than usual weather for photography meant I was spending less time doing what I usually do in the summertime (catching up on work, old projects...) and more out doing what I love: discovering the world through my camera.
It's just a facade

Where to stand: Ansel Adams' wisdom
in journal
It's all about location, location, location!
Ansel Adams said it a long time ago: "A good photograph is knowing where to stand". Of course, there are many other things to making a good photograph, but where to place our camera is arguable one of the most important ones.
In this video, I talk about this as I share a very good example of this.

You have to master your camera
in journal
Photography is all about timing: being at the right place at the right time. But that's not enough. We need to be ready, we need to be prepared. There's nothing worse than investing vast amounts of time and money to put ourselves in front of magical conditions if we are going to waste it because we don't know where that function is in our camera, if we press the wrong button, or we hesitate about which dial does what.
When we are in the field, it's all about the what (what are we capturing?) and the why. The how is important, but it's something that needs to be trained when the stakes are low. So when things finally come together, the camera disappears and all that remains is the composition in front of us.
