Solstice & Paukan
Paukan
You wait for that perfect light before you shoot—do you have a concrete plan to tell you when it’s right, or is it more of a gut feeling?
Solstice
I usually keep a light log—note the time of sunrise, the angle of the sun, and how the clouds shift. But in the field, I let the light speak to me; it’s a quiet conversation, and I follow that feeling until the colors feel just right.
Paukan
Sounds efficient—log the variables, then let the scene speak when you’re in the moment. Just keep a backup plan in case the clouds decide to throw a curveball.
Solstice
Sounds like a solid rhythm—keeping the notes but staying present with the light. I usually have a backup shot in mind, just in case the sky changes its mind. Then I can still find that quiet moment to capture.
Paukan
Backup plans are for those who forget the first draft. Keep the notes, stay in the moment, and let the light decide—if it changes its mind, at least you’ll have a second choice.
