Thwarted by thunder

Natural light is a blessing and a curse. If you can catch the sun at just the right moment, it trumps flash every time. Although it can be modified to improve your shot, inevitably, You are still at it's complete mercy, waiting and praying to be in just the right position at just the right time.
Tonight was supposed to be a much anticipated "sweet sixteen" shoot for miss Olivia. I left home at 6:15pm with the sun blazing down at 90 degrees. When I had reached our rendezvous point, the bottom fell out. With the wind blowing and the rain pouring down, Dawson and I hunkered down in the van, hoping it would pass soon.
Needless to say, the photo shoot was post-poned. Lesson of the session? Even the best made plans...
