The famous French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson said he always carried a camera except when he was shaving, I try to follow these wise words and 99% of the time my camera never leaves the bag. But for once on this occasion it paid off. While walking some local lanes, not something I would normally have done preferring to go to grander outings in the mountains; I was glad I brought my camera and it finally saw some action.
Late afternoon sun illuminates the clouds in the sky leaving the strong outline of this tree in silhouette, in the far off distance the horizon is filled with Ben Vorlich and Stuc a Croin.
This hare was kind enough to give me all of a second for me to realize it was there, drag the camera up and fire off a wild shot before scampering off across the ploughed field. That’s one of the great things about outdoor photography especially when out with no particular plan, you never know what surprises await. Thankyou Henri and I’ll continue to follow your advice.
