While I was visiting St. Louis, I nearly buffed the nose right off my face with Kleenex. Sunday and Monday were the only times I went out walking. Here, I used a secondary flash in an attempt to compensate for strong backlighting at the Gateway Arch.
No tripod... I just propped the camera up with a bag, and held the second flash in place with goose poop and leaves. Seriously, there was a 20° slope where I placed it, so I had to use a stick to push a couple bird turds in place, and top them off with leaves for a place to lay my flash. I was hoping to try the shot again later with a bluer sky, and with a different solar perspective, but decided it would be wiser to drown myself in tea and rest quietly in my hotel room. I feel much better now.
