About this image

Two months since I last had the opportunity to image anything, thanks mostly to very wet weather this summer, so I picked an easy target. Given that I have mostly forgotten what I was doing, I'm very pleased the result. Surprisingly, all 100 subs (5 hours) were usable, which is very rare indeed.
