Narrow lanes like this can be a frustrating place for photographers. You’ll be driving along them and suddenly see an amazing composition only to realise that there’s nowhere to pull over and make a picture. This road does have pull-ins in a few places, hence my ability to have taken this photo, but I’ve had situations in the past where there is nowhere to stop at all and the picture is effectively lost without a very long walk.
I had a similar situation today when I went out at lunchtime to try and shoot a few frames while the weather was good. I saw a scene that I really liked but there was nowhere to stop. There were a few passing places that I could have used, but had I done so my usual bad luck would have resulted in a farmer coming down the lane in a tractor or something and the resultant awkwardness as I had to remove the roadblock I’d created. And so I missed the picture.

I live in Colorado and often have this exact complaint… Lots of blind corners and wonderful views I just can’t pull over to capture. And it’s not as if the shot’s not worth it, but a major concern I have is I don’t trust other people on the road to be paying attention enough to not hit my car…
At least you got this one, though.

Exactly. I’m sure I could probably stop, get the shot, and move on without causing any issues, but the catastrophising part of my brain gives me a massive list of potential things that might happen if I do, so I don’t take the risk. It’s almost certainly for the best that I don’t stop, but it’s frustrating.

I will now start using ‘catastrophising’
