Pouring rain for 5 minutes beforehand, an open windswept beach with nothing between it and Antartica (except for Tasmania....) and the tide washing up over my hiking shoes, leaving me with totally wet feet for the entire shoot.
Yup. It.was.a.treat.
(But yes....I totally agree. It was soooo worth it. I could see the rainbows and break in the clouds; and despite the rain, I scrambled over the rocky platform to position myself. I got there just when the break got over the area and the sun just lit up that rock!)
