Default Finally a decent pic of the NRB

such a hard color to photograph, it always looks really dark or black.

I like that pic as well, but my whole mission was to try to get the elusive color on film. I drove along the beach, trying different locations, keeping the trajectory of the sun in mind. fortunately there weren't a whole lot of folks around, as it was only in the high sixties yesterday.

The best advce I can offer you is to take your time. enjoy the moment, it should be fun. take pics, shake hands, have a blast taking delivery. don't jut run in and out, unless of course you don't like them.
