Gobos River Light - a photo on Flickriver

Gobos River Light

This is a fairly common scenario for me... I find a nice composition with some nice light... but by the time I've setup my camera on the tripod... the sun moves behind a huge cloud... and the great light is gone!

The sun wasn't very high in the sky when this happened to me here in the Gobos river which runs past the village of Greyton... and since the cloud was quite a big one... I didn't think that the sun would reappear again before it set behind the mountains. But I'm a patient man... so I just sat down and waited... and waited some more... until fortunately the sun popped out briefly again for about 30 seconds... just enough time for me to capture this shot!

All good things come to those who wait... patiently!

Nikon D800, Nikkor 14-24mm at 15mm, ISO 100, aperture of f/13, and a 1/50th second exposure.
