Photographer’s Note

Just after a copious meal washed down with two beers and red wine, Didier, Henk and me were heading for a blue hour shot.

I was feeling kind of "whoopee!", as I rarely drink more than two glasses of red wine... So while we (they) were discussing about the best location to adopt, I was playing with my tripod until the locking clamp got stock between my left eyeball and socket...

But instead of following my friends, I've decided to trespass a closed construction site, in order to get on the other side of the channel (it was the only possible access, unless one would be ready to swim with 20 kilos of photographic equipment on his back, which was my second option, due to my state-of-mind...).

Once on the other side, half-blind and half conscious, I've walked through the wet field and mushy soil until I was soak up to the knees, desperately seeking a good angle. I could hear Henk and Didier screaming at me to joined them on the other side, but the little monkeys in my head were screaming louder...

Finally, I came back on the dam they were builiding and manage to get this shot in the can before the sky became too dark. The real exposure time is 55 seconds, but TE system doesn't allows more than 30 seconds, like if Bulb mode wasn't existing.
