Webb Bridge VIII
Tonight was a comedy of photography errors. The kids were annoying each other as they do a month into the school holidays. I was planning on slipping out of the house for some peace and quiet and take some photos. The suggestion from my wife was to take one of them with me. Don't get me wrong, they are awesome to spend time with, but it did throw my routine out the window. I wasted 1/2 and hour scrounging around for my old camera and tripod for my daughter to have a play with. After an hour-long drive and walk. we got to the location. Nasty looking black clouds filled the sky. Our sunset photography session was looking grim. Then, disaster struck. I left my fully charged battery in the charger at home, the battery in the camera was down to 5%! Not much good for long exposers. I ended up abandoning to new R6 and commandeered the old T7 Rebel for myself. I did manage to get a couple of good shots before the battery died all together. When I got home, I immediately went to grab the fully charged battery. As it turns out I did put the charged battery in my camera bag earlier in the day, I just put it in the wrong pocket.
As for the photography, the clouds cleared 20 or so minutes into the Blue Hour. It was only then that we got a short burst of colour in the sky.
