A weekend months in the planning, every camera checked, battery charged, drone charged, bags packed. Then rain. Not just a bit of rain, which I would have worked with – but 24 hours, three days worth of sideways rain. I’d been checking the weather, so I knew it was coming and had accepted it, so I managed to enjoy some quality time with my wife and our dogs, the most important thing is we got them away from the fireworks which absolutely terrify them (they need to be banned, so made to be quieter). But, I still hoped it would clear, and it did – just as we were leaving. Typical.
So, just the one photograph.
Do I love it? No. Did I forget to lower the ISO? Yes. Did I learn anything? Absolutely. And, that’s the thing. If I can go somewhere, have a nice time and learn something, then I can only improve for next time.
We loved this place so much that we’re going back at the start of May. This time I’ll have some knowledge of the area, and hopefully the weather will be better.
