The whole world is now well into 2014, so a very happy new year to everyone in the CiC community. I hope the year brings you all you need and your wishes are fulfilled.
I've just spent a few days in the beautiful Scottish Borders region (that's the border with England). But it rained. And then it rained again. And then it rained some more. You get the picture!
Anyway, that didn't stop the intrepid photographer. This sums up pretty accurately what it was like for most of the time. But, take my word, it's not always as wet and gloomy.
40D, 70-200mm f/4L IS @ 135mm. ISO800. 1/250@f4.

Yes it is.
Why would you lay yourself open to a law suit like that???!!!
Hope the tree makes it back up the hill and that you got wellies for the new tripod.

Re: Happy New Year ... from a wet and windy Scotland
And I wouldn't have seen this picture if I hadn't had the same curiousity. It would have been easier to turn back (me and my dog had already walked for for over an hour in the rain and wind), but I wanted to see what was over the next rise.

May your new year bring you less gloom and a plethora of satisfying image opportunities.
You know Donald, although I am sincere in my wishes for you, I just realized how much that sounds like a fortune cookie insert!

Re: Happy New Year ... from a wet and windy Scotland
Thank you for your thoughts, folks.
And thank you Terri for:
I suppose the picture above sort of expresses what the second part of 2013 has been like for us! Originally Posted by terrib
