<center> <h2>2018 Get Out And Shoot</h2></center>

I finally made it out to shoot a Lighthouse nearby, that is one of the TOP photographed Lighthouses on the EAST Coast US.
Of course, nothing is ever easy... after struggling to schedule shooting this, I finally made the two hour drive to shoot it ...and?

<h4><center>Under Renovations, covered in Scaffold and Tarps!</center></h4>
Which brings up my post today: What *I want* to go out and shoot.

<h3>Here's My recap list for 2018 Photoshoots</h3></center><br>

**Get Out And Shoot, for 2018!**
2018 recap so far? I ✔ Checked off a few more items from prior year's lists. I've also added more. No excuses, my focus needs to be better, and more dedicated to shooting. ... and not just shooting for shooting's sake, but *Chasing The Light,* too. Sunrises, Sunsets, Golden Hour, and the sky.

<center>*I'll really need to make **Make Time** To Get Out And Shoot!*</center>

Highlights:
long-exposure waterfalls, more species of wildlife to shoot, Cape Cod and New England Lighthouses, and more wish-list places to shoot.
