"Sometimes all it takes is twenty seconds of coura "Sometimes all it takes is twenty seconds of courage to completely change your life. On the flip side, I’m not actually rock climbing here (hence the lack of gear) but in the past few weeks I’ve found myself caring less of what others will think of me when I fully tap into my inner self and shoot my shot. Do what you want, it’s worth it 🤙🏼"
Love it @jaywwild, thanks for the inspiration!

Heads up! The weekend's coming in hot but the temp Heads up! The weekend's coming in hot but the temps might be cold.
A few tips for those heading out on the other side of the sun to get the shot:
1. Watch your exposure in lower light conditions and take advantage of great light.
2. Let your gear acclimate and try to keep your batteries warm.
3. Keep gear protection close in case it rains (if you're in CT, anything can happen).
4. Dress appropriately. Gloves are handy (pun intended 😉).

Mist and fog are wonderfully atmospheric and dream Mist and fog are wonderfully atmospheric and dreamy phenomena to photograph. They can be poetic, romantic, haunting, and quietly spectacular. But they can also be challenging and unpredictable.
What are your tips for shooting in the mist?
