Description

The forecast said 'clear all night', in reality I got 1.5 hours only. So, 30 subs at 3 minutes long each - I like to run the camera at 5 minutes if I can, but at the time I thought I would go for many subs rather than fewer, which I think turned out to be a good idea, with the change in forecast. Living by the coast, I can assure you that this does not look like any seagull I have ever seen - it is more like a crooked smile on a man - who happens to have wings! : ) As I write this I can hear one of the blighters through my open window... Anyway, I used my DUO filter with the new 130EDT, for this. Take care all of you...
