A quick post, a bit late in the day, as I have spent quite a bit of time today putting the final touches to my new talk ‘High ‘n Wild with a Camera’ which is due for its first outing tonight at the Photographic Section of the Northants Natural History Society.
The image for today’s post (click it to enlarge for a higher quality image) is from Saas Fee in the Valais Alps. It was taken high up in early summer in an area where the snow covering had yet to clear. And here I chanced upon a small tent in the middle of nowhere just at the moment when the cloud cover miraculously parted to allow an all too brief shaft of light to illuminate this small space.
Sometimes you make your own luck, sometimes lady luck rewards you. On this occasion I felt rewarded handsomely

What a great find Andy! The shot still had to be made though, and it looks really good.

Yup. Pure luck. Just like that red tent setting itself into the frame of your photo! Nice kind of luck, with a component of will attached to it.

Thanks. The talks went OK. Red is the stand-out colour in the mountains.

A lovely picture. I like the contrast between the sunlit snow in the foreground and the looming and threatening background. And I hope the talk went fine yesterday.
