Macro & Hero
Hey, I heard you were in that remote valley last week—what's it like scouting for shots when the weather flips fast? I’ve had to keep a team safe during sudden storms and I’m curious how you stay steady when the sky’s about to erupt.
It’s the same old rhythm – watch the sky, hear the wind, and let the moment breathe. I keep a low profile, so I’m not a big target if the clouds suddenly turn. I have a raincover on my lenses, a quick‑wrap bag for my tripod, and I always have a backup battery and a spare filter in my pocket. When the storm starts to brew, I find a safe spot, set my gear, and just wait for that perfect lightning flash or the first drop to hit the right angle. The key is staying calm and trusting the weather; a quick headlamp and a sturdy harness are my safety nets, just like you keep your team safe during sudden storms.
Sounds solid. I keep the same mindset on the ground – read the wind, stay low, and let the crew get to the spot before the clouds throw a curveball. A quick headlamp, a good harness, and a plan to move fast if the wind shifts are all I need. It’s about keeping everyone focused and making sure the gear’s ready before the storm hits. What’s your go‑to move when the sky really starts to crack?
