Photographers know that the best light for shooting is most often found early in the mornings and late in the evenings. But getting up early or running out late does not guarantee the perfect light.
When doing assignments for magazines or other slick publications, photographers are at the mercy of the light. I once shot an important assignment with another photographer that required 7 trips to the location, a two hour round trip.
Photographers also know that perfect light is fleeting, and can sometimes last only a few minutes, or mere seconds. For that reason, when I was coming back from an assignment on Saturday evening, I slammed on my breaks to capture the beauty of the light falling on this little silent corner of the world.
This was not taken in Crisfield. It was taken a few towns up, in Mt. Vernon, but still part of our county.
