Smugness
04th August 2012
At midnight last night I decided i should get up in the morning for a sunrise! I set the alarm for 4.15am and really struggled to obey its call. However I made it to Ross Strand Kilalla by 5.35 in plenty of time . The forecast was for cloud with no sun and I was not sure that I should have travelled, however it turned out to be a lovely morning, and I had a great time getting a number of different images.
As I retraced my steps back to the car I realized mine were the only footsteps on the beach and I must say I felt very pleased with myself. I had made a good decision to set that alarm, an even better decision to actually get up, great decision on the location, I could not actually take credit for the sunrise, but at least I was in the right place. I sat back into the car almost glowing inside and started to review the pictures on the back of the camera, it was only then that I realised the camera iso was set to 1250 instead of 200 What a Wally !! The smugness left me , and I had to laugh at myself . the pictures were not completely ruined but were not as good as they should have been.
