Breaking the Surface (Hypothermia, and other fun adventures)43/100 (see flickr for more)
I came back to Victoria for the weekend and of course thought why study when shooting is more fun?
So I rented a tank of a tripod and mom and I took off to a lake where we found that our assumption that no one would be around because it was blizzard-without-the-snow-temperature out was incorrect.
I'm pretty sure we managed to get there at dog-walking-O'clock.
I set up and then awkwardly posed while all of the dog owners and hikers in their winter coats watched. After a bit I started throwing a curtain around. I stopped that after it fell on my head.
After getting home and discovering everything was out of focus I put this together since floundering around in a lake in one's underwear with a lot of strangers watching really shouldn't be for nothing.

I love it. The photograph is wonderful as is the story that goes with it. I was up north here in Ontario and tried to get some pictures of a waterfall but it too was dog walking hour. I do wait them out, but have a lot of this huge dog popping out as my camera fired. Friendly mutt that almost knocked me and my camera in the falls

~ Thank you!
Your photo (I assume it's the one of Duchesnay falls) turned out beautifully, despite a canine attempt to sabotage it.

Thank you, this was later on in my walk and the canines had moved on. And yes; it is of the Duchesnay Falls. It is about an hour walk up one side and down the other of the numerous different falls and taking sometime for the view. There is an old bridge at the top so you can cross over. A great hidden away place in Northern Ontario,
