Trek Assessment #1 "Issues"

I must say that I was surprised at how relaxing and engaging I found trek one to be; capturing and listening intently to the everyday sounds one has a tendency to neglect in day to day life was absolutely enriching. I was slightly annoyed when trying to record a bird that seemed to sing beautifully…until I tried to record his song. Though all it all it was quite pleasurable.
Collecting images, however, seemed to be a bit more taxing. With winter fast approaching light is a commodity, and it seemed that each time I planned to go trekking the day was somehow overcast or I was unable to begin until after four in the afternoon rendering it too dark to complete my project (or at least complete it the way I thought it aught to be completed.) Eventually, however, I simply began about three in the afternoon and just stayed with it until it was good and dark and used the absence of light to say something else. The project turned out nothing the way I had imagined, though I was satisfied with the result.
