[@sonnydugganphotography]

I Watch A Lot Of Wildlife Photographers On Utube Mate But Always Love To Watch Yourself When You Post Your Videos Everything Is On The Videos 'Frustration" Hours Put In 'Homework Etc " . Keep The Videos Coming Mate Sometimes 100% Perfection isn't What You Want To See it's The Reality You Learn The Most From . Best Wishes Mate

I always look forward to your posts. Nice job. Some of my best photos have come by chance. I just returned from a four day photo trip with my wife and got some good shots. Not everything I planned for, but lots of fun. I just try to enjoy the experience.

I'm not really a planner but I am kind of controlly 😊 yet I realize with the control I think I have I know I have no control. I only can prepare for what I think I can control. With that all said... I grab my camera and lens set it beside me and go about my day. Hoping I have time to stop and take some shots. Knowing every time I go out something new may show itself. You have to agree some of our best shot are unexpected an unplanned for. I enjoy the surprise more than the journey.

Well said Joe, most of my best and favourite images have been by luck or accident!🤦‍♂️😂😂

I could imagine that it's a tricky balance.. Your shots at the end though, looks really pretty 🙌

Hello Haydn!! Been a long time. Hope your doing well. I find it really hard to go out without a plan in my mind. For example in the mornings, if I want to drag myself out of bed, I have to have a plan in mind if where I want to go. As for the evenings I can just wing it. Great video, and topic! ☺️

Thanks littleone. Yep, those early starts get harder the older you get too! 😂😂
