Anyone who is a fan of the Film Photography Podcast is probably aware of a fantastic photographer named Jim Austin or Jimages. Well, week 5 is probably because of Jim and his philosophy of slow photography. See, I took this photo before I lugged out the camera. I came across this scene the day prior, stopped the car, got out, and admired it, but I didn’t take the photo then. I waited a good 24 hours before dragging the camera out. It took me that long to build the final picture in my head. And while that is taking the risk of not seeing the scene as I wanted to within the week, it wouldn’t have mattered because I wanted to get the shot just right, and that is what it’s all about…patience. Sure, I could’ve taken the camera out and shot with whatever I had with me…but then I don’t think it would’ve been as good an image.
