Recently, I wrote about the arrival of cold weather and photographing the winter landscape. By the time it posted, I had driven seven hours south to Amelia Island, where temperatures were in the upper 70s and I could walk barefoot on the beach.
It so enjoyable reading about the places on Amelia Island you enjoy photographing. My in laws lived there so we visited quite often, enjoying photography as well as beach combing. Your photo of the day brings back all these memories and more. Thank you!
I’m so glad this photo brought back good memories for you, Ella! There is so much to like about Amelia—the beach, historic district, state parks and more. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks, Janis. Yes, I love revisiting favorite sites. You get to know a place better that way, see how it changes, and increase your odds of catching it at just the right moment.
This is a breathtaking photo, and your narrative about what it was like there and what you did afterwards encourages me to get out my camera! Thank you, Lee Anne.
That’s great news, Corrine! I’m so glad you found this helpful. I hope you will get out there this weekend before the moment passes. Let me know how it goes.
Merci beaucoup Lee Ann, c’est toujours un vrai plaisir de vous lire et d’admirer vos images…j’aime votre Vision…tous mes vœux pour cette nouvelle année 😍
I have toyed with the idea of a Monochrom. I like many things about the Q2, but worry about resale value with the fixed lens and know that lens is wider than I generally like working with. I’m glad to hear you are happy with the M10. I’m not one to change camera systems easily, but my professional needs and way of shooting have changed a lot over the years and this is very appealing to me. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I may rent one for a week and see how it goes.
I love that, Leslie. There is so much to be gained by slowing down. Are you, by any chance, using the Q2 or other Leica Monochrom? If so, I’d love to hear more about your experience with it. And if not, I would love to know what you are using.

Are you using a Leica? I’m curious as I’ve been contemplating buying one but I use a Nikon now
No, but Leslie Landerkin (see thread) is and she shares her thoughts on it.
This offered great tips and reasons to return to places you’ve found.

Thank you, Herve. I appreciate your kind words and wish you all the best in this new year, as well.
Good information as always. Thank you.
Thanks so much, Robert. So glad you found it worth the read.
Good information, as always, thanks
Wow! I copied "Find good light and wait for something to happen" and put it on my desktop. Thanks.
I don’t know if those are Sam’s exact words, but that’s definitely the gist of it and very good advice.
