The sun dropping fast, my trusty dog Justice and I trotted off in the direction it was setting, and finally got to the lake just in time. Dusk, and a not so fast lens forced me to push the ISO a bit, which added a nice grain to the image, and a very painted look, that I often think can better capture the subtle colors and textures of a fall setting. Crisp is always better in an image, unless it feels more warm, more real and looks more like what your eye sees.
I could have turned around, chalking it up to a late start and quick setting sun. But, instead I pushed on and took in what I could in those last minutes of light where things change moment to moment. Funny, seems that photography is often like life....stay on the trail and you don't get your shot. Assume the sun has set, and you miss the best part.
The best photos are the ones taken.
