Bad Weather Day Photo Tasks

So it's a beautiful day here, but this time of year, that's always questionable, right? And a lot of times people say to me, I don't want to go out this time of year. You know, the birds, they're kind of drab. It's usually cold, overcast, windy, wet, whatever, right? So, but I do want to say that you still can work on your photography even on days like that. Again, not necessarily days like this. It's a really nice day. Nice day here, a little cold but otherwise nice. But what you can do is crack open that catalog, and let's say you went out once a week and maybe a dozen times you saw one particular bird. Let's just say green herons, right? And, um, you got home and you tossed them on the computer, uploaded them through Lightroom, and they're in your collection. But maybe you didn't go through and individually tag each one of those photos with the location, the type of bird, you know, any other descriptive stuff, right? So It's always a good idea to do that. And when we have these downtimes, when it's like, man, I would really like to be out there taking photos, but it's just too ugly out there, I'm not gonna go do it today, we can turn to our catalog and begin to make sure that that stuff is very organized and also to just put eyes on it again. It's helpful to walk away from something after, you know, some time and to give it a few months and maybe look at it with fresh eyes. See if there's a different crop, or see if, you know, maybe you missed one that was a really good one and it's time to re-examine it. So if it's cold, wet, nasty, or otherwise you just don't feel like going out and taking photos but you've got that bug, then crack open that catalog and make sure everything is organized. See you next time.
