Unexpectedly up at “Stupid O’clock” this morning , due to perfect Limboland conditions arriving unannounced !
I had a a 100% grump on as I grabbed a coffee , pulled my kit together , defrosted the car and headed out into a frozen Limboland !
This was not what I had planned for my Saturday morning , my plans involved a lie in , numerous cups of coffee and hot buttery toast !
Although I knew the answer , I remember asking myself “Who’s idea was it to create a series that relies on freezing cold winter conditions” ?
My “GRUMP” diminished slowly as the car got warmer and I started to thaw & admire the beauty of the morning , eventually I started to think like a photographer, this was the perfect frosty misty morning but could I find a keeper ?
As I sit here writing this with coffee , a few slices of hot toast & memories of a successful shoot , I’m feeling very pleased with myself , the question is will I dare to peep through the blinds at “Stupid O’clock” tomorrow morning or opt for a duvet day ?
Once you have a coffee put your shoes on and leave the house photography becomes so much easier but sometimes the “leave the house” bit is just a step too far …
Inspiration can be a gift or a curse , I dare you to peep through your blinds tomorrow morning …
