I'm breaking in a new pair of walking boots, so any excuse whatsoever at the moment to get out of the house - with a camera - and get shooting. Not that the boots need it. As long as they are the correct size then modern boots should cause no problems from the start.
There is a welcome break in the winter storms, today - such things now becoming "the norm" for the time being - and since my telephoto-zoom lens is no longer giving me problems (previous post), it will get some exercise. Despite the calm and sunshine, it is potentially a showery day, with the light constantly changing, and it is this that is the real subject for my lens today.
I'm also making full use of one of my favourite long lens effects: telephoto compression. It gives the impression that all the buildings are piled on top of each other, when in fact there is 350 yards (320 metres), between the foreground structure and the buildings at the top of the frame.
The next storm is due in overnight, with plenty more from where that came from, it seems.
70-200mm f/2.8 Apo Sigma lens. 1/1600 second at f/5.6. - 0.33 EV compensation. ISO 320
