This is one of my favorite photography quotes, one I found solace in when I took up photography. As a new photographer I initially thought there were rules that you follow that will help you get better shots. But as I went through awesome shots by great photographers one after another, I realized they never had any explicit rules which they followed, instead they adjusted depending on the situation. A fellow photographer I met while travelling gave me one of the best advices, he told me to just to keep the camera in the bag while you reach a new location and to just walk around explore as you will always fine something interesting.

This shot is a direct result of taking that advice, this lighthouse was a hard location to shoot and I only found this view while we were about to leave. I managed to get about two three good shot just by taking my time and really enjoying the place rather than darting around like a blue arsed fly with a camera.
