P L A N - B

ð Trevaylor Woods, Penzance

I've been struggling with my photography lately. Really struggling. I hear a lot of landscape photographers struggle in summertime too. But also throw in bad planning, probably due to tiredness.

Take today for instance. I checked the tide times, weather, even cloud height (low clouds scupper a colourful sunrise). But I somehow misread the sunrise time - making me arrive at my chosen location (Newlyn Harbour) late! How did I even do that?

When I finally made it to the end of the pier, I was faced with a "drone pilot." Now, the normal conversation with a fellow tripod wielding photographer would go like this...

Me: "Hi mate, do you mind if I join you?"
Tog: "Sure! No problem at all! Besides, I don't own the pier haha!"
Then we'd talk ourselves down and tell each other how rubbish we are. Standard stuff.

But this is a shortened account of the conversation I had with the drone pilot, let's call him Maverick...

Me: "Hi mate, do you mind if I join you?"
Maverick: "I'm working here... Just let me land before I talk to you... Well you have to stand behind the cones or I'll have to induct you to the site."
Me: ð"Oh right. Okayy. So this is a paid commission?"
Maverick: "Well no, it's a personal project. I'm a surveyor you see, and this lighthouse has markings... blah blah blah"

The conversation continued awkwardly until the light quickly became too harsh for me to shoot before I packed up and headed to nearby Trevaylor Woods as a Plan B.
