A Closer Look

Shooting on crutches is tough, doable yes but tough. I never realized how physically demanding shooting can be. It sounds like a joke buts it's the truth and I didn't realize it until this past 3 weeks.

I finally got outside and tried to see if I could make anything happen, it was really interesting. The difference isn't that I couldn't get somewhere, people can say different but its possible to get a lot of places on crutches, the problem was how long it took to get there. When I'm shooting landscapes and say I see a ridge that looks like it may have a good perspective it's not a big deal to run up there and check it out. If it works great but if it doesn't, no big deal to run back. Today I found myself at fewer locations but I explored those spots a lot more than usual. Definitely gives you a closer look at the smaller things, things that are usually only components of the greater image.

Good experience? For sure, so good to get outside with the camera. Any worthy photos? Not so much but thats okay, its just a blog. I spent a little more time than usual editing too, some different looks, some a little crazier than others but all somewhat different edits from the norm.
