Loch Linnhe
An impulsive shot. Driving along the shores of Loch Linnhe, Chris and I spotted the Sun trying to break through the clouds, I rammed the anchors on, turned the motor on a sixpence, flung the doors open, grappled furiously for camera gear and haphazardly took a few shots with shaking legs.
An unusual shot for me, 200mmm and no filters or other extraneous paraphenalia bolted on the lens....

I think I was a bit lucky!

Wonderful - you need a bit of luck sometimes - I have missed two potentially great images by not doing what you just described
Best Wishes

To day I received my new Sigma 70-200 (old model)
I'm glad to see that such beautiful pictures can make with it :))
John Parminter  Mine is brocken though Jacob, it doesn't focus so this was done manually, another unusual thing for me, I'm surprised I even managed to make a shot... ;-))
