Shetland - Bridge End
To have any images at all during Storm Babet whilst on a work trip with friends I'll call a success. I'd hoped to capture a few more images of beautiful Shetland but the gales said naw. As always, God was good to us, and my stupid photos are but a blip in this life. It's not my favourite image or moment of the trip, but this is stuck forever in my memory because here I was with my camera, alone with pals inside, enjoying this serene view. In solitude. :) There was a very eerie pause in the wind on Tuesday 17 October before the storm properly arrived. This isn't a long exposure. We'd just finished working for the day and I managed to nip out with the pipe and the camera. The floating pier was as still as my steps, which was surprising given the five metre swells we'd felt on the journey north. This building on the left was a home for a week, so regardless of how many images I planned (but failed) to capture this is still quite special to me. 5DSR + TSE 24L II
