Timing

Photography is all about timing.  If you are not patient and not ready, you could miss a great opportunity.  This situation was such when I went up the grotto (a mountain trail) with some friends.  We enjoyed the waterfall and played in the water, just having a great time.  After we had started heading to the car, I saw a beautiful butterfly that blew past us.  It landed, and my friend picked up a rock to throw it at it.  I whipped out my camera, and snapped a picture.  I was really surprised to find that the picture turned out great:

 

 

 

What does this have to do with the right timing?  I (luckily) had my camera on and ready to go when needed and also used this to my advantage.  It is always good to have your camera on and ready for a split-second that you could have a great picture. 

Now go enjoy nature and see how fast you and your camera can be.
