Jams, jams, jams. When I finally got anywhere last night I actually got some good work done. A varied day with some afternoon and some night shooting. The area behind Nilkhet market has some interesting light things going on. A solid day of working with 237 photos.
- I was in more populated places (Dhanmondi, New Market) and the shooting was much faster, and consequently blurrier too. My mind is made up, when I’m in Europe I’ll put my money in getting a D700 and an f2 lens, and perhaps a lightweight tripod. Extra baggage to carry but worth it.
- I didn’t do any of the things I was supposed to from the previous shooting notes, which is a shame. There is an inherent tension between filling out a set with similar shots and always pushing yourself to do something newer. I was thinking on the bus back how uncomfortable and difficult night shooting still is for me. I’m still learning. But I can’t forget that it is this constant pushing to get better that really separates the chaff from the wheat. It is subtle and because we are lazy it is easy to forget.
Why tomorrow will be better
- I need to get out there and shoot more day pictures. I still don’t feel like I have enough high quality face shots for that set. Getting the right sun has become the problem.
- Need to take a day off, to do some editing, reading, etc. It’s like I’m addicted to going out and shooting now. But I have to make sure all the parts of the puzzle are put together, not only the most interesting part.
