Shanley Studio

1 of 3 | I’m just scratching the surface organizing the images from this trip so here’s a lake from Colorado. We’ve been moving fast to see everything we wanted to see and while we’ve seen it did we get to enjoy it? I think both Stu and I agree that we’d like to slow our trips down a little more. That doesn’t mean we don’t do anything, in fact, the opposite. We want to do more in these places instead of constantly driving to the next place. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We’ve definitely covered a lot of ground, but when you drive as much as we do you get tired, irritated, and you end up with an unhealthy drive-through meal instead of preparing delicious food at camp. I find myself not shooting something I normally would or even worse, shooting it, but not as well as I know I could. I get a little lazy. Not pulling out the tripod to do a long exposure that I know would look better than the images I shot hand held. It happens. I wanted to get so much more work accomplished this trip than I did, but here we are.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I have, however, seen great friends, beautiful landscapes, and had an amazing time with Stu. It’s been a great trip so far and instead of being bummed about work I haven’t accomplished, I’m going to set small daily goals of what or how to shoot. I find small goals help me master the bigger goal otherwise the bigger goal just gets overwhelming. ​​​​​​​​

Hold me to it 👍🏻
