On second thoughts I think I'll walk.

Taken in the same spot as the rickety boat house, in Penang. This was quite a tricky shot - the jetty was fantastically unstable, and behind me, at the end of the run, there was a rabid barking dog, which I later had to fend off with the tripd legs.

 

I couldn't open the lens out much more, as there was a rather unlovely block at the far end (we are facing back to the shore here). Getting to a stable enough place to allow a long exposure (only 1.5 minutes was also a challenge.

 

After the shot, I had to walk backwards off the jetty for quite a long way, poking the tripod at the snarling dog that was trying to have a go at me. All in all I was glad to get back to terra firma.
