One Year Later, Oh Boy

One year later after the pandemic shutdown and instead of shooting baseball today, I was out shooting nature. It was a hard weekend that I thought was going to be actually an ok time even though the Naval Academy sports shutdown went into week two. I was going to shoot moto-x Saturday but they were going to charge me $35. It was more for fun than to shoot for money so at that price I wasn’t about to take my time to provide them with the exposure. Saturday night I was going to shoot some bands at a local spot but by the time I was about to head out it was very crowded for the size of the place. I didn’t feel it was worth it to go and try and get a few shots. In that small of a setting. Hard to keep out of the way of people there for the show and get shot I would want to to get. So the day was shot and on top of it we lost an hour of sleep changing the clocks. Read an article that the shutdown may go even longer depending on the medical data. So I am not optimistic that games will be played next weekend. So today I went out in the sunny but windy day and looked for things to shoot at a local state park. Much of where I had hoped to go was closed off. Not a lot gave me much inspiration but I always love going out to shoot. I should have taken my 60-600 as I passed the college sailing team out for a practice or maybe it was a race. Hard to get much of anything with my 24-70 from the dock. I would think I should know better than not be better prepared. So after 365 plus days of the COVID shutdown it is still throwing off my schedule and forcing me into nature. Hopefully next weekend I will be back in the ball park.
