New York Times photo essay

[hoopdriver]

For the past year of the lockdown I've been going out each morning with camera and tripod and shooting my mortning bicycle rides as though they were travel features. This morning the New York Times ran a collection of my images as a photo essay intheir The World Through a Lens travel series: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/05/travel/sussex-bicycle-portraits.html

Do you go on a ride with the intention of taking pro level photos or just happen upon them?
Do you pre-plan photos for when the light is just right so you can be there ?
