Last Words | This is the photo I shot on Provia 100 with my 150mm wide angle lens on the evening of Day 3. The title comes from the fact that my camera was destroyed overnight. If a photo is worth a thousand words, these might be the last words spoken by my Ebony RW810.  ( Provia 100F | Nikkor 150mm SW | Lee 3 stop hard edge grad filter | Ebony RW810 | 1 second @ f/45)
