Does anyone find themselves so distracted by the sun that they lose focus on what they are trying to do?
Yesterday, I was working outside on a show and there was a mix of sun and shade on set. I found myself thinking more about where the sun was than where I should be. This is not good because when you shoot a particular scene it is very important to be in the same place at the same time each and every take for continuity. This takes concentration and I felt myself losing focus.
No necessarily. I am definitely excited when there's an overcast day or at least some clouds. I was pretty annoyed the city cut down my favorite shade tree at my favorite park. No shade means I now have to lug an umbrella, not ideal.
I’m not there yet. If I’m outside, it’s just passing through. I’m not doing something outside. I understand. I have felt that way myself at times. It's tough. Scott skincancer.net moderator
What did you do to move beyond that feeling? Time? Or something specific? I found that I could feel comfortable enough outside to do what I love. There now is enough in prevention to make it worth what I deem as a lower risk to do something that is highly desirable. It has become a cost-benefit analysis where the benefits now outweigh the risk in my estimation. Scott skincancer.net moderator
