ILCE-7M2 & FE 85mm f1.8

This was an interesting one. Kiall and myself headed up to Lostock Dam on the weekend to take advantage of the clear skies we’ve been having lately. We had a rough location in mind at the dam, but didn’t really know how to access it. Turned out the only way there was to go tramping through a dairy farm, which the bewildered farmer kindly allowed us to do. Getting to our location was hard enough – lots of elevation gains and losses, clambering up and down very steep, slippery and unstable hills. There were many ‘near misses’ – I came close to a rolled ankle or a fall on several occasions. 30-40 minutes later we arrived at a spot we liked; dreading the return trip to the car in the dark. We had no idea what we were in for…

 

After around four hours of shooting we decided to head back, which was an interesting challenge to say the least. Large parts of the dairy farmer’s property are impassable – sheer drop-offs and thick, impenetrable bush being the most common barriers. We were never ‘lost’ per se – once we got to the top of the hill on his property we were able to see the lights of his house in the distance, but we could not work out how to get back. After a lot of wasted time and energy, we finally made our way back to the car – with the return trip taking a tidy hour and a half.

 

This was definitely a shot that required a measure of dedication to achieve.

I'm still not sure if it was dedication or stupidity, but this shot involved waiting for three hours, outside, in the pouring near-freezing rain, standing on three inches of icy slush (and falling down the muddy embankment). Worth it? Rondout, IL.

Piero_HN and I wanted to watch the sun rise from Red Rocks early one September morning. We were there in the dark; we were there in time; we beat the sun; but we didn't beat this girl. It's not easy to get up early in the morning to run every row of seats of the fame Red Rocks Amphitheater; but that day with the sun barely shining its light on Red Rocks, she was already more than half way done. That's dedication!
