1995_100032 - Ben Alder Gully

Wayne ascending an easy gully in Coire na Leathcois on the northeast flank of Ben Alder.

The story was that I stopped further up to make more images like this and as Wayne climbed up alongside me. An overnight low temp of -15C had killed the little button cells in the Pentax ME Super, so I tied in and tried to change them with cold hands. I dropped the new ones and watched distraught as they chinked 500 feet down the snow slope. Luckily for me the ME Super had a mechanical 1/125 shutter, so I could continue photographing but I had no meter. Every other image from this day was exposed by guesswork - you know the thing: bright day in the snow, sunny f16 at the reciprocal of the iso 50 film speed = f11 or f16 at 1/125. It worked mostly ...

Refreshing my archives. Others from this period are in this set ... Scanned from Fujichrome RF50 transparency
