A Helping Hand

Photo Information

I've been meaning to process and upload this one for some time, but never got around to it until now. This is Paul Bland (Paulb531) who came with us on the Peak District day out last month. He was kindly holding down my K-5 to prevent it from blowing over in 60mph winds and a blizzard! As he did, I caught this candid shot which I am rather fond of. Hope you like it Paul!

K-x, DA L 55-300

PS: Who needs weatherproofing? Neither my K-x nor my 55-300 are weatherproof, but they both survived this unscathed!

Super b/w, you must all be made of strong stuff, but it's well worth it.

Kind regards Maria

Love this. Has a real chissled and rough and ready feel to agree. Agree with everyone about the weather mind!
Looks as though it was awful!!!
