I've been admiring a pretty farm on my drive to/from work, wanting for some time to take a photo of it. There's a nice pond, a cool zig-zag pattern of wooden fences, and a pretty farmhouse in the background. The way it's positioned relative to the road, I decided that a morning shot would be best.
The place has 'no trespassing' signs all over, and there's often a gaggle of yard workers keeping the fences trimmed, etc. So I was hoping to just jump out of the car, quickly make my shot, and dart off before causing a stir. There's nothing legally wrong with taking a photo from the road, but it's easier to make a quick getaway than to have to explain oneself.
So this morning, I took my Bronica RF from my air-conditioned house and put it in my air-conditioned car. I briefly debated using an ETRSi with the 100-220 zoom, but thought I'd try with the RF and 100... the RF is so much better suited to guerilla photography, after all.
I was back in the car when I noticed that the lens was totally fogged over with condensed humidity. If there are any images at all, they'll be very low contrast, and surely not keepers. D'OH!
Score +1 for through-the-lens composition. :bang:
It's good to laugh at myself every now and then. Does this count the same as shooting with the lens cap on? LOL
