Cover shoot for Camping and Caravanning Club.

I originally planned (and set up) up a totally different shot before he arrived. Plan was to have  him in/near a tent framing the campsite behind, and dropping him into the ready-to-go set once he was free.

That all changed. Chris had to leave; it started raining - and you can't shoot a wet tent. This was taken in a hasty couple of minutes, next to my car, under a tree to avoid the drizzle. I grabbed half a dozen frames and sent him on his way.

Lesson is, you can plan what you like, but sometimes, you make something better when you have to. You may realise too that there’s time and experience behind getting results quickly like this. This shot didn’t take me two minutes, it took me twenty-plus years.
