So once again I was returning home, this time from doing the shopping (you’ll know why I was doing the shopping if you had read my previous blog) and although the sun was slightly showing it’s head, the light was nothing to write home about. However, when I came out of my nightmare (supermarkets) things were slightly different. So off I shot to find the perfect spot to capture the pending sunset. See here for my panicking about sunsets
About half an hour later I saw a solitary tree on a hill; parked -up and ran up the hill with Poppy in tow, set the tripod up (did you hear that Fratch) and was just about to release the shutter when blow me down with a feather, this lovely couple, without a bye nor leave came waltzing up from the other side. Now me thinking “hey this looks good take the photo” :

So I quickly set the camera up again and checked in the view finder. This time though the couple, being the considerate Germans they are, decided to hide behind the tree:

Well this totally ruined my shot, not only of my 2 lovers photo but also of the tree/sunset photo. What I haven’t mentioned is that this was taken with my new 70-300mm lens and was set at 300mm so all my shouts and hand signals only made them TRY and hide more. I had no alternative but to run up the hill and ask them to pose for me. Lucky they did and this was the result:
There were other things that happened as well, such as Poppy constantly running into the picture, but I don’t want to rabble on now, do I Tracie.
