No clear skies today at Clear Lake


Clear Lake was a place I always wanted to go to, my sister keep talking about how nice it is there...yada yada yada...



Was it as nice as how she described it??? Well for me... I think Clear Lake is nice but not as how my sister described it. Maybe because the weather wasn't too flattering for the place that day...maybe.

The sky was a little bit gloomy and the water scene just didn't look "picture perfect" without the nice vibrant blue skies. The heavy clouds just made the scene quite dull but I have to work with what I have since it's a 3.5hr drive to get there and it's not like I can just go there the next day.

I have to say that I didn't shoot as many film frames as I did digitally but at the end I ended up with a few really amazing photographs. With my really busy schedule designing, when sometimes trade off my days off to meet with the goldsmiths, I learned to make most of what I have(in terms of weather). The "right light" is hard to achieve when you don't get to choose when to head out for a photoshoot, I work with gloomy days, harsh light and work my way around them to create my photographs. Clear Lake would have been a lot more picturesque if the right skies was there but none the less I love the photographs I created...a different mood to it.
