Planning can often improve one’s ability to capture the best images when on a photography excursion. Having a checklist with the correct equipment and ancillary supplies is also important in that process. Checking the weather is also a must if the journey is to be outside.

Plan all you want, but every once in a while your best shot, or at least a very good shot, might be captured in a moment of serendipity that could never have been planned.

Scott Bourne, bird and nature photographer, had such an experience and he posted it on his twitter feed on February 11, 2017. This is the picture he took:

 

A unplanned WOW moment captured

Also keep in mind, that being prepared when the opportunity presents itself is also the key.
