Buggar

Well I was up early yesterday and up early today for more images and I’m pretty happy with those I have for a project I’m working on.
Satisfied with what i had I ventured to Hagley Park to capture form frosty images of the park & the light on the trees when i noticed the fab light on the weeping willows and the mist rising off the River Avon,. Excited i pulled the truck over and headed down to the river to try and find the right shot, I had my fav lens on the Sigma 10-20.. it’s fantastic and for me produces really nice blues.
Not happy with what i was getting I turned to get a grad filter from the bag to let me pull the sky down a little when I heard one of those sounds you just don’t ever want to hear…… SPLASH….. I turned hoping to see a duck swimming away from me, startled from the bank.. but no. All I could see were the legs of my tripod popping out of the Avon, held steady by the weight at the other end that was my Canon 40D and favorite Sigma lens….
