One or two of you are aware that I fell foul to a sudden change in weather whilst up a mountainside with LF kit a couple of days back.
As I was waiting for light, I passed time surfing on TP.
A couple of pics of the saga can be seen here:

Anyway, after descending about 300ft, the wind calmed, the rain/ sleet nearly stopped and patches of sun / blue sky appeared so the fact that the gear was already damp/wet , I climbed back up!
Got all composed and set up with filters etc again during which time the light had gone back to being flat so another wait.
10 mins or so and a return of howling wind and sleet:banghead:
Darkcloth draped over the camera, I stuck it out ( the cloth works extremely well as a camera raincoat.)
Eventually some sun broke through, along with a part rainbow which sadly was off to the LHS of the scene.
Regardless of the light still not being really what I wanted, I'd had enough of battling with the elements so fired the shutter before attempting to keep everything as dry as possible whilst packing away ( for the second time!)
I got a result
Not the best that might have been available with the ever changing light but it's not bad.
I might clean it up some more to print it, purely for the fact that it took such a bloody effort to obtain it!
