I took a little ride at lunch today up to a water reservoir area, gorgeous scenery and such but the area was well fenced and difficult to find a place to pull the car over. Do you look for easy shots or strolla round areas where you know you will find something or do you hunt down the tough to get pic?

I was too scared to pull over and get out as the road was very narrow and a truck route to boot!! I keep thinking I should go back...

ummm.. a little of both. If I don't see a way around the more difficult/unsafe routes I will venture off within reason ofcourse.. a five mile hike in the middle of a canyon taught me a valuable lesson.. But, the shots were worth it it's all about perspective.. I've done everything from the 'hold my feet, over cliff ledges'.. to telling my friend to drive really slow while I sit on the window of the car.. But, I don't go out of my way looking for tough spots, difficult areas.. It's usually when I feel compelled or have an idea stuck in my head and I don't always stop and think things through...
