Had a week away in Norfolk and spotted an old, dead tree in a field near the cottage we were staying at.
It looked to be quite a simple shot as you could park the car next to the fence then just walk a few yards and get the shot.
I hadn't counted on how inquisitive the horses in the field would be.
To get under the fence I had to put the tripod to its lowest setting and push one of the legs under the fence - one of the horses decided that nibbling the tripod leg would be a great idea.
The other horses decided to protect the tree and gathered around it. There was one Donkey in the field and that thought it was best to keep telling me off by coming over every 5 minutes and braying at me.
So - in the end it took 2 trips and a lucky break when the farmer appeared and fed the horses - well away from the tree
