Walking Around With A Camera

The process of walking around with a camera was certainly something interesting, but not entirely new to me. When I was in high school, I used to be the one walking around with the video camera filming everyone else. The more time that you spend behind the camera and getting over the fear that people really do not want you aiming at them, the process gets pretty easy. I actually enjoy being the one behind the action, especially on a video camera
There were a couple things that I thought worked well when I was taking the pictures. When I first started out to take the pictures, I really liked the amount of sunlight that was left. It was when the sun was just about to go down, but there was still enough light on things to where the flash did not reach. It gave many of the pictures a cool effect with the darker light in the background of the pictures. The shots in the "woods" looked a lot better than they did in a brighter light.
However my late start which first produced positive results quickly brought upon my eminent demise. The great light before sunset quickly turned into no light at all. This lack of prominent sunlight lead to many good looking shots not having quite the amount of beauty as the picture looked in the viewfinder. This was due to the fact that the flash only carries a certain distance, leaving the areas it did not reach too dark for viewing.
