Nature Hikes

 

Tyler and Brady had a very interesting winter break this year.  Instead of having the entire week before Christmas off, they were off from 12/23-1/8.  Thankfully, we had some sunny weather during the first week of January, and we were able to do two nature hikes.  Dan had to work that week, so Brady and I trekked through the woods & followed Tyler to his favorite mountain biking spot.  I was in charge of capturing videos & photos while Brady searched for sticks.  Trying to take the perfect photo at the perfect time was definitely a challenge!

My first attempt...

And Tyler's reaction to my photo...

After his first run, he said, "Did you get the shot?" and I replied, "Um...not exactly!"  During his second and third runs I would get closer & closer to discovering the right timing, but it took about 10 tries to get the perfect shot!  Sometimes, even if my timing was right, my camera settings were off, or the focus was off.  It's very tricky!  I definitely have a newfound appreciation for sports photographers!
