Timing is everything!

One of the problem's I had with 'el Cheapo' was not being able to adjust shutterspeed. It would frustrate me no end to have a great shot in mind, and not be able to achieve it. To get a long shutter time I'd have to use a night setting which in turn would overexpose my pic, unless of course the natural light was pretty low. I was, however, able to capture today's pic by waiting until late in the afternoon and getting down low in the valley where it's slightly darker. Despite the muddy tripod and soggy socks I think it was well worth the effort.
