derekl_1963Stepped outside last night and noticed the conditions were almost right for a shot I've been trying to get for months and months... (As always clicky to make large!)
Usually the clouds are just zooming by, but last night they were crawling along... This shot, representative of a series, didn't turn out too well because the moon was shining through a hole in the clouds - but in a moment conditions would change...
Patience, and freezing my ass off in the cold and the wind were finally rewarded as the clouds moved to obscure the moon... I'm still not getting the shot I'm seeing in my mind, but that may be as much due to the limits of my skill and equipment as to an overactive imagination.
Ok, after an hour or so outside a nice warm kitchen is starting to look awfully inviting! (Even if it is a mess!)
After all that I rewarded myself with a nice hot mug of tea and a delectable selection of cookies.
