Show Notes

Have an intent when you go out to take photos. It’s not “just luck.”
Ask yourself, “What do I want to do? How do I want to make it?”
Be patient and be ready for the split second opportunity you might have.
At tourist locations, get up early to get to locations before it gets busy.
To get GPS data on photos from a camera without GPS, take a photo using your iPhone to get the GPS data.
Just use one catalog in Lightroom.
If Lightroom is running slowly, you might want to try optimizing your catalog or change your catalog settings for how long you store large preview files.
Photographers often overthink aspects of photos that the general public doesn’t.
Stop messing with the technical aspect of photography, focus on capturing a beautiful moment.
