We can be so excited to get to the planned location that we don't even notice any photographic possibilities on the way there. As you can see from the last few weeks' blog posts, I was on my why to this location:

I was dreaming of the shots I was going to get here (and it certainly was worth my while; at least I think so). I was so excited that I walked briskly, I just wanted to get there. Bear in mind that just like any respectable photographer would do, I was hours early (for the good light). So I had lots of time to my disposal to look around. I was thinking to use that time to look around "on location". I made the mistake that many of us make, I did not think of the way there as a location. Yet, any place can be a location for photography.

          How about taking your time (if you have the time to spare), looking around while you walk out to the spot? Is there anything there of photographic value? Don't make the mistake of thinking that if there were good shots on the way there they would have been shot because other may have also just rushed to the location thinking only about the location instead of thinking that the way there can also be a location.

          This is what I found on the way (I wish I can say that this image was found on the way to the location, but sadly, I only found this image on the way back as I wanted to still get to another location):

I like this image as much as the ones I went to the location for in the first place. Please look around, be aware and on the lookout. Never only think of the location as the only location. The way there can also yield respectable images.
