Latest / The Wandering Wolf Podcast / I Stopped Bringing My Camera
Transcript
- 0:01SPEAKER_00: July was pretty boring, especially when it comes to photography.
- 0:06SPEAKER_00: I didn't really visit any new places and taking photos of the same places
- 0:10SPEAKER_00: where everything looks the same for three months in a row gets kind of boring.
- 0:17SPEAKER_00: So I didn't take that many photos.
- 0:19SPEAKER_00: And honestly, I haven't really felt like bringing my camera with me on walks either.
- 0:24SPEAKER_00: I don't see many animals, no birds, nothing.
- 0:28SPEAKER_00: It's just been boring.
- 0:31SPEAKER_00: But now it's August and autumn is getting closer and closer.
- 0:37SPEAKER_00: That means shifting colors and I'm really looking forward to that.
- 0:42SPEAKER_00: Where I live we don't have that many different kind of trees though.
- 0:46SPEAKER_00: Most of them just turn yellow which is kind of boring.
- 0:49SPEAKER_00: I want those beautiful red orange colors so I might have to visit other places for that.
- 0:58SPEAKER_00: I also went somewhere different last weekend and took some more photos there.
- 1:03SPEAKER_00: Not a lot but a few.
- 1:05SPEAKER_00: I think part of the problem is that when I'm out with
- 1:08SPEAKER_00: the personnel I don't really feel like it's okay to stop and take photos.
- 1:14SPEAKER_00: Even if that's what we're there for.
- 1:17SPEAKER_00: They keep walking while I stand still looking around
- 1:20SPEAKER_00: and eventually I'm just like okay we need to go.
- 1:25SPEAKER_00: So hopefully I will start taking more photos now that autumn is approaching.
- 1:30SPEAKER_00: I want to photograph mushrooms and things like that so we will see what happens.
- 1:36SPEAKER_00: We have had a very very dry summer here in Sweden with barely any rain.
- 1:41SPEAKER_00: I guess the rain will come eventually though and when it does it will never stop
- 1:47SPEAKER_00: and making photography harder.
- 1:50SPEAKER_00: But something did happen last week that brought my interest back a little.
- 1:55SPEAKER_00: On August 12th Sweden had a partial solar eclipse.
- 1:59SPEAKER_00: Me and my dad went to a lake to get the best view of the sun and washed it.
- 2:04SPEAKER_00: Kind of.
- 2:11SPEAKER_00: We didn't see much because of clouds but we did notice the light changing.
- 2:16SPEAKER_00: That was the first time I experienced something like that and I took a lot of photos.
- 2:22SPEAKER_00: Last time was in 1999 apparently and the next will be in like 2039.
- 2:29SPEAKER_00: Things like this really boost my interest in photography.
- 2:35SPEAKER_00: So now I'm looking forward to autumn even more.
- 2:39SPEAKER_00: By the way, did you see this solar eclipse?
