And conveying interest. Then somehow every time I view the play back I\u2019m pleased.\u00a0 I looked at what I captured but I never really looked at what was missing.<\/p>\n<p>Even after I was \u201ccautioned\u201d in the gentlest way.<\/p>\n<p>By someone who knows.<\/p>\n<p>The sky was blown out of nearly every image and I never even noticed.\u00a0 Not until I sat with my images and prepared to edit. Which got me thinking, was this the only place I was missing what I couldn\u2019t see? How often have I been concerned with the scale, or composition or interest of situations or things but not the light?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ordinarylegacy.com\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/storm-king018.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3243 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ordinarylegacy.com\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/storm-king018-400x265.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ordinarylegacy.com\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/storm-king018-400x265.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ordinarylegacy.com\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/storm-king018-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ordinarylegacy.com\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/storm-king018-453x300.jpg 453w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hindsight and the benefit of editing don\u2019t always make themselves available.
