This is why I carry an orange vest and collapsible road cones, no matter how obvious you think you are to passing traffic, it only takes one person not focusing to ruin your day. (pun intended)
Apart from that, enjoyed the content thanks.

I have a vest in the car, just didnt think about it. Great advice, thank you.

You would really do well in such a situation to have an assistant watching, perhaps even warning, traffic. Also, doing what you do you should have a reflective vest such as worn by workers in traffic areas. Compositionally, my eye is annoyed by the roof support on the same line and obscuring the door edge. That's the sort of thing I see all the time in my own images so I know how hard it is to see everything on site. Thanks for your extra work to make a video of this. Also, I'm hoping you provide the store owner with a print.

I had a second shooter all through my wedding career, you are right, but not worth it here.
I carry a reflective vest in my trunk, would have helped, just forgot.
Agree with you on the roof support. Sometimes those things are hard to notice in the field.
I normally ask if they want a print, and most of the time, they are not interested.
Thanks for the input.

Hell man you need to buy a high -vis jacket they are cheap enough. Nice photo and nice subject matter.

[@Media.ExpertPhoto]

Yep, you are right. I have one, but left it in the car. Dummy me :)

You’re welcome 😊

First time watching your vids. I must say it's funny how a lot of photographers are shy about interacting with people and here you are film yourself in front of people, avoiding traffic, talking to the store owner, telling them to get out of the shot. :) I found that all very amusing. Just goes to show you shouldn't be afraid to get the shot. Also, I have never seen anyone convert a negative the way you just did! That was awesome to learn that.

[@Media.ExpertPhoto]

Thanks for watching, and thanks for the compliments. More to come :)

[@senior_ranger]

If possible, rather than asking people to move out of frame, I tell them I'm taking a shot and give them the option to be in or out.

[@Media.ExpertPhoto]

That is about what I said, most people are very nice and move. The take away here is don't be afraid to ask :)

[@HeathenHammer123]

B&W for sure

[@Media.ExpertPhoto]

Yes, I agree

[@Riverrockphotos]

I agree this would be a great subject for BW.
