Good photos sometimes means being uncomfortable.

Fuji XT10, 18-55mm 2.8-4 lens, ISO 200, F/11, 1/180sec
I took this photo while out with my photography class on the school property. It was windy and the temperature was around 43 degrees. It was not pleasant to be outside. I have taken so many pictures over the years on school property that it's been very challenging to find anything new or remotely interesting to photograph. However, on this day, I think that I was determined to not be underwhelmed. I didn't let the weather get to me, which it usually does. I kept exploring until I came upon this scene. I kept shooting, despite freezing fingers and a slowly depleting battery due to the cold. In the end, I came away very satisfied with my image, despite a drab sky and no color in the landscape for the most part. My lesson here is that sometimes it takes a little bit of determination and willingness to be uncomfortable to get the shot.
