“DURING The light is getting hasher, but as time passes the activity below intensifies. A tanner starts laying out his hides in a wonderfully colourful, graphic display. Te bright wall below us acts as a reflector, bouncing the light back into the scene and dropping the contrast. We work the view methodically for several hours – if a situation is a good one it’s best to stick with it and explore every possible composition in pursuit of the definitive image. I’ve got my lens trained on the evolving as the tanner slaps the wet hides down, muttering, watching the exposure displays, occasionally checking for ‘blinkys’ (highlight alerts, see page 68) on the monitor. Dave is crouching nearby, like most ex-Fleet Street wallahs he’s a Nikon devotee. Generally I hate sharing a scene with another photographer, but in this case I let him off. Eventually, with a couple of full 4GB cards, the light is just to harsh. Now then, how do we find our way back?
