Bashed my knee, running for the Camera

hill · 11-12-2008, 11:11 PM

Winter is getting near, so the sun goes down shortly after 5PM here. Since our boat is electric, I usually take it to the clubhouse pool for my after work swim. Finished putting the boat cover back on afterward, and everthing began turning orange. I almost missed the great sunset overhead, so I ran for the camera. While jumping onto our neighbor's dock for a better picture I smacked our rod iron fence with my left knee. Clicked off a couple shots, while ignoring the pain. Limping back into the house I thought, "stupid A.D.D. ~ I should have just started the chores, rather than get distracted with the sunset" .

Can you tell how appropos our boat name is? "oh look, a sunset!!"

Go back and take one without the flash if you don't mind!

Tomorrow night, instead of bashing your knee,

take the camera with you out on the boat, stay out later, and get lotsa shots of the sky's colours reflecting off the water.

For your knee remember the "rice" rule for treatment: rum-ice-coke-enjoy!

Great photo, thanks for sharing!

Hope the knee is feeling better by now.

Had to laugh at the boat name, saw that before I saw the last line in you post, lol.

No flash . . . it took a month for another good shot (2 shots pasted together). What do you think?

The important question is "What do YOU think?"
But I think this looks far better and would make a nice print to hang in your house or a Christmas card.

Picture of the knee, please.

Evan is right, what a great personalised Christmas card shot.
