Four PM, the knock-off bell rings, a cloud of dust hangs in the car-park where the adventurer's ute once stood.....

Nice picture Baz

Very Lord of the Rings, Gandalf commanding the clouds to go away. :lol:

Thanks Ric! It was my first time using the 5D MK II for a night shoot and my first time using live view as I have never had it before with the old 400D.

To make matters worse, the mounting plate for the new Manfrotto ball-head was on my other camera, so I got to the top of the mountain carrying the tripod, only to realise I couldn't use it!! I balanced the camera on my bag and set the timer to take the shots instead.

Ah well, I guess it's just as much about the story as it is the photos.

I learned a valuable lesson at least...CHECK LIST!

Great photo, Barry. Very nice. It would make a great album cover.
