Do not adjust your set.
D7000 500mm f4 ISO 400 1/800s at f8 resting on beanbag whilst lay flat on ground.

The Mountain Weather Information Service forecast was 80% cloud free summits, dry and no wind. So another early start (3.20am ) and summited my mountain in thick mist, blustery wind and rain/hailstone. Oh well now I am here I might as well keep going. Hello, whats this looming out of the mist? A Dotterel just arrived back from sunnier climes, poor fool.

Please open the larger version for an improved view once the mist had lifted.

Many thanks for the comments on my sleepy hare post.

Nick.
