Deluge
I've been wanting to try out my new 10 stop ND filter since I got it a couple of weeks ago. It's been raining a lot but on Monday, the forecast was for cloudy in the morning and raining in the afternoon. So I very quickly grabbed all my gear, checked the tides, and headed out to Whytecliff Park in West Vancouver. When I set up my tripod, I realized I had brought the wrong lens! I packed up my 50mm portrait lens instead. I tried the filter and luckily it fit and I figured it would just have to do. Then it started really pouring rain - that wasn't supposed to happen! I tried to protect my lens and filter from the rain and managed to get a couple of shots in. There were birds flying around and ducks landing and taking off in the water, but none of them show up here, and I wasn't going to add a bird (this time :) ). Anyway, I rushed back up to the car, put the tripod on the roof while I was putting everything away in the downpour and took off. You guessed it, I left the tripod on the roof, but it let me know after a few feet of driving and I was able to retrieve it. At least I was able to spend a little bit of time out in nature and I discovered I really do like my new filter :)
