Right place: Right time.

What is the hardest part of photography? Being in the right place at the right time.

Learning composition rules and techno speak is the easy part. I mean seriously anybody today can pick up a camera and with a little bit of knowlege make a good image. Of course, getting great images consistantly means you do have to understand the rules of photography and how to apply them. For some that happens with out even thinking about it, and for others it's a learned skill.

That still leaves us with the hardest part of photography. Being in the right place at the right time. Why is it so hard? Simply put, because you have to put effort into doing the research. You have to be commited to getting up at un godly hours of the day to get where you need to be to get the perfect light. You have to know your subject. You just have to put the work in. But perhaps the hardest part of being in the right place at the right time is: LUCK!

That's right. sometimes you just have to be lucky.
