We
stood there in position for at least an hour waiting for sunrise
to show. The sun, lazily finally came up, but behind very
dense clouds. Light was pale, subdued, without striking color.
Too windy to catch any reflection. So it was taken as an opportunity
to play with foregrounds. Too cold-numb to be afraid to fall
into the icy water, I cheerfully jumped into this rock with
tripod and all. After done, suddenly realizing I am not 20
years old anymore, it took me a good number of minutes and
deep breaths to figure out how to return safely to shore,
and with my dear F5. |
