The old chestnut "F-8 and be there" is true so far as it goes. You also have to know that you are "there" and have a clue about to do with what you have with you. I guess that is true in other areas of life.
Sometimes I get the impression that those early photographers with their relatively primitive equipment must have known a thing or two.

Ooh what a lovely area. The sky of course is perfect.
It's not too hard to find shootable scenes in that area. And cloudy is the norm for that area. Thanks for your comments SWF.

... HCBs own description of being ready to pounce at the "decisive moment" is NOT connected to serendipity...
To increase our chances of catching a serendipitous moment, the best preparation is being ready to pounce at an unexpected moment. We can't plan for unexpected moments the same way we can plan for decisive moments, but we can try to be ready for them.

I think that for many (most?) of us this evolves over time. Eventually we end up having worked with a number of genres with our photography and selecting one or two that become our main focus...
I agree. Beginners should be encouraged to experiment with all types of photography. Through time they'll gravitate towards what they find most rewarding and/or most inspiring. The only things a beginner should be encouraged to eliminate are bad results and bad habits.
I would encourage a beginner to be selective about their results, not their genres. If they end up with something they would happily put on one of their walls then that is the sort of result that they should want more of, regardless of its genre. The not-so-good results they can put down to the learning process. Even disasters aren't a waste of time if something was learned from them.

RG, I made several attempts using flash and reflected light, but this left overexposed bright spots on the shells.
This photo was made using diffused light from a North facing window. Exposure was ISO 250, f8 and a 1 second shutter.
Thanks for your comments.

You're welcome. Thanks for the explanation. Diffuse makes a lot of sense.

Very nice! Even though the settings is different, still, the image reminds me of my submarine days when our boat was moored to a tender in Holy Loch.
Thank you. Glad it brought back some memories.
