BLIP CHAMBER

Drive forward, Stop!
Sound of water
raining down in rivulets
Pounding of brushes on metal
Up and Over and UP

It's a Blip Chamber
Frantic scrambling in bag.
Final pass begins
White balance, ISO. Aperture

Three clicks and done
T'was still in manual focus,
from a job the day before.
Next week same time!

Postscript

Two hours later,
the herring gulls formed up
came out of the sun
and strafed end to end.
