The secret to getting pictures worth framing and putting on the wall is to take lots of pictures. I means hundreds and hundreds. A few are bound to be perfect!.
I can remember in the days of film (1983) , I was lying on the deck of my boat with my Canon SLR trying to get a picture of a small Island with a lighthouse on it off Guilford , CT. My friend was steering and we made several runs at the Island with the sunset in the background trying to get the shot timed so that the lighthouse light was on in the picture . Must have taken 20 shots and luckily , 1 of the 20 had the perfect combination of water . Island , sunset and light on , in the same picture. I still have the framed picture to this day . almost 30 years later.
