Barking mad

I think passers by thought that I was, barking mad that is, pointing my camera into the murky depths and fiddling with dials and controls.  But just a few times in those murky depths a shaft of sun shone through. So, although the photograph is underexposed overall, the bark just caught the glint of sunlight.  I took the afternoon off from my desk to walk the lanes and try this underexposure technique again.  It certainly is a challenge.  I am Blipping early because friends are coming round for dinner.  I can sense lovely cooking smells coming from the kitchen.  Extra nearly made it as the main, but a tad too near normal exposure for the challenge.
