Waiting for a subject when the light is good

- They say that patience is a virtue,…and while I don't know if that's always true,…I do know that patience is almost always…a great photographic tool,…and this week on The Practicing Photographer,…we're going to look at a process…of trying your patience to get a good shot.…Here's what I'm talking about.…I saw this shaft of light on the sidewalk in Florence,…and thought, boy it'd look really cool if someone…was walking through it, but no one was walking through it,…so I stood there and I waited, and I waited actually…quite a long time because people would walk around it,…they'd walk to the side of it, and I waited long enough,…and eventually, this guy came walking through…in the exact spot that I wanted.…

I had to adjust my framing a little bit.…I wasn't set up on a tripod with a particular image in mind.…I just knew that there was some way that someone…was going to interact with this shaft of light,…and I was gonna like it.…I was able to see him approach,…so as things started to develop, I was able to get…in position and get the shot that I wanted.…
