At The Edge of a Planet (05-28-05)

Totally unaltered.
Simply cropped and signed.
The one that almost got away.

I was going frantic to get this sunset.
When I realized what was developing,
I grabbed all the cameras, bags, cards, batteries
from around the computer and dashed for the car
and nearly slid down the steep hillside
and pushed the limit through the curves
to the closest beach overlook.

My sunset camera, the Point-n-Shoot, wouldn't shoot
(who knows? Haste makes waste?)
Grab D70. No card. Insert the 1Gig. Camera won't shoot!
Why? Who knows. All the settings look right.
Grab card out of digicam and cram into D70.
Shoot!

Whew!

Saved from going over the edge!

Nikon D70
1/125s f/5.6 at 300.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

It's those fleeting moments of panic and frustration that bring something like this about :) Amazing shot, as I'm sure everyone agrees.
