I was working on a shoot for which I needed snow and a nice grey sky. Unfortunately, I was maneuvering around some pavement that is not particularly well cleared. As in, icy. I couldn’t move my car from the position above. The snow isn’t deep, but it is covering ice. The front tires seemed to be in slight ruts and, even with winter tires, it wasn’t going anywhere.
Oh well, I need to take some photos before the light fails me. It was snowing lightly, the sky was a uniform grey, and the lighting was great, if a tad low. A few minutes later, I had my shot. I also had very wet jeans and gloves. Even my shirt was wet, although I’m not sure how that happened. But I had my shot! That’s what counts.
Back to the car, I decided to try pushing it free, and that worked. Whew! Photography can be an adventure even close to home.
