The crowds have long dispersed from their summer activities and life has considerably slowed in the small communities of Arnold’s Park and Okoboji. But the lesser crowds doesn’t really change any photographic opportunities one can find. On a recent visit which was overcast and rainy, it was nice to be able to walk in quiet and just enjoy the scenes as they were without a lot of hustle and bustle. For some of the photography classes I teach I always remind people that sometimes what you are looking to photograph isn’t there, so you adjust and photograph what is there, and see the opportunities in front of you and sometimes you can be very surprised by the results.
