Hey I've just launched a new design for my website & I'm currently working through all the content updating it to the new layout. This post hasn't been checked yet so it might look a little off.

9 — Lavender & Whiskey

Everyone has their bed time rituals, some people even read… So some idiot thought it’d be a good idea to leave his camera battery charger at a friends house & completely forget that he needed it, then when he went out to shoot he switched his camera on he was greeted by a GIANT flashing red battery symbol! Now I’m not saying this was me — but it totally was. Crap. So anyway, I had to setup the shot, focus, balance the lighting, light temperature & meter without the use of my camera… good job I like a challenge. I got it setup as best I could, switched it on & manage to fire off six shots before I completely ran out of power. I think pretty much all I endup doing was dropping the ISO from 800 to 400. Not too shabby Rick.
