Typical, you travel almost 6000 miles and you end up in the same, foul weather you left in. :bg3:
Perhaps one of the wettest conditions I have ever shot in, however both equipment and 'company' did a sterling job, nice one Jamie. Certainly within a short space of time we were both as wet as the environment, even equipped in Gore-Tex, rain just oozed out of our kit, including the camera gear, but we just soldier on, likewise the camera bodies & lenses, LOL.
To me there was some sad linkage between the blood stained Snowy owl and the big, industrial nail/bolts driven into these old timbers, however, rest assured the owl was perfectly fine and had come to no harm, I can only assume it was remnants from a previous feeding kill. I tried to keep the SS low to ensure I could capture the driving rain, not sure if I totally succeeded?
Jamie, wellies will be packed, so sunshine will prevail!
Thanks to those who posted a reply or looked at the previous image. :wave:
