Met and while they were getting some rounds in.

They let us practice with them 🎥 so we made the most of the light and location.

The Eye of Timberland & A Shot in the Dark.

🏞 "The Eye of Timberland"—
This one was effortless. A brief pause in our walk along the riverbank where a piece of driftwood caught my eye. I pulled out my phone and stuck my hand into an opening in the branches. When i looked at the screen, i felt it was as if nature itself had composed it.

🌠 "A Shot in the Dark"—
This one was different. We were deep in the wilderness, long past sunset. The cold was setting in, and my friend and my girlfriend were exhausted—hungry, tired after an 8-hour drive and a 3-hour hike, eager to get home.

As we walked the trail, I barely saw what looked like an outline of a mountain. It was so dark I almost mistook it for clouds. I felt bad holding everyone up, but something told me to take one last shot.

I set the shutter to “didn’t check” and the ISO to “it is what it is”—hoping for the best.

The screen lit up.
"Processing image..."

After the longest minute of the day—it was a bust. The shot was so dark and noisy i could barely see anything. I looked at my friend and girlfriend, their slightly disappointed faces mirroring my own—until my sudden excitement melted the ice.

Now looking closer at the screen, ignoring the image noise, and bad exposure, i could make out the composition. The outlines were there — i just needed to get the settings right.

I placed the Sony FX3 on the frozen ground, set the shutter to 30 seconds, ISO to (400, as far as i remember), and opened the aperture wide. All I could do was hope the mountain was in focus.

Then, the screen lit up again.

And there it was—the mountain, standing tall illuminated by nothing but the stars. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

It was a reminder that not everything worth seeing is obvious. Some moments exist beyond sight and wait for those who trust in them.

Have you ever captured something unexpected? Which one of the two do you like more?
