Changeable weather.

Today i was in the Gallery all day and it was by and large a lovely day weather wise. I was teaching a night class in Kiltimagh, and have been asked to run a second one on a Wednesday night as well. Anyway my only chance to use the camera was in the morning prior to opening the Gallery. When i set out the sky was very dark with no sign of the sun and so i decided after all the rain it might be interesting to photograph a waterfall. This one is a 5 or 6 minute drive from westport so I set off with half an hour to kill before opening the gallery. The river was in complete flood and very different from when I last photographed it (see blog on 31st July) . Anyway i had to work quick but just as I reached the riverbank the sun came out and hit the white parts of the water. Just what i didnt want but by the time I had set up the tripod and deecided on an exposure thankfully the sun disappeared I made a total of five different views and decided I had to pack up and open the Gallery. I was lucky i did because just as I reached the car the heavens opened, and I mean opened!!
