With the weather being stormy and knowing the woods were going to “daaaaaaaaawk”, I decided to conduct a little experiment with yesterday’s race and brought one, and only one, lens. Having no choice but to shoot with what I brought, it freed me up to play with composition, position, made me much more mobile, cut down on second guessing myself and overall just made the race much more enjoyable and fun. May have to start doing that more and more.

And the rains held off throughout the race only to start pouring down no sooner than we shut the car doors to head home. Sideway sheets and sheets of rain kept us company all the way back to the house.
