Description
I went out running from my place when I saw this amazing sunset, and I started taking long exposure shots (using a Cokin ND400 filter) from a bridge on top of this river (Dublin Liffey). I only had a couple of minutes to capture this, which means that I had 4-5 1 minute exposures only (not many if you were guessing the exposure time like me!).
When this happens, I ignore all rules of safety, and I start placing filters/lenses in weird places until I'm satisfied with what I have.
This time, I placed my filter holder ring in my back pocket, with my apartment keys..
It started raining just after I took this frame, so I had to pack quickly; I pull out the lens ring out of my pocket, and I drop my apartment keys in the river
Anyway, long story short: I found a way back to my apartment!
Looking at the bright side: I know where the keys are

Location: Ringsend, Ireland.

Tech info:
Lens: Sigma 10-20mm shot at 14mm
Camera: Nikon D80
Aperture: f/9
shutter speed: 160 seconds
Filters: Cokin ND400 -> reduces light by 9 stops.
Used a remote control to release the shutter
Tripod: Manfrotto
Cropped and increased contrast + saturation in Adobe Lightroom 2.0
