Horrible Conditions = Great Day

After 3 months of us first meeting, Aly finally got to work with me and vice versa. She chose the location, which looked intriguing and eerie. Well ironically enough, the dead mangrooves where under more water than before. Walking thru the rivers silt made it almost enough to call it quicksand. Then you had the stingrays, tiny lil guys who kept to themselves mostly. Almost there now. Not 30 feet before we get to the location, my best friend Alyssa steps on a rather sharp rock, and recieves a 1/2 inch gash on her foot. Fast forward....
The lighting sucked. Id get my settings down and exposure set perfectly, and what happens? The damn sun goes behind a cloud. Now repeat this for 2 hours. The final straw that broke the camels back was the rain. Started off as a slight drizzle, then into a light rain. At this point, I didnt want to push my camera past the limits. Pack everything up and start walking. The clouds were ominous and lighting was expected. So what happens? It stops raining and the damn sun comes back out. Man today just wasnt meant for anyone. You know what though? I had a blast!
