Comet Lovecloud-finally spotted !

4th morning running and finally saw what all the excitment is about, Very Mighty indeed, well half of it anyway : )
I been 30k to the south end of the Gold Coast each morning to aviod as much LP as possible and finally this time a gap in between cloud & showers which I had a tarp over the C8 fork mount and camera, Surf is up to 2-3m, wind blowing 10-15 knots, salt filming the lens when the cap was off, Very hazy at ground level, ect !

This is one of only three exposures, other two showed less comet due to fast moving cloud.

Kit was a 600D, 18-135 IS @ 26mm.
Exposure = ISO 800, F6.3, 90secs tracked, ICNR.

Glad I finally have a Comet Tale to tell ?

'Ave A 'Appy !
