Expensive pass over of the ISS

The ISS passing over a local river. 16 x 10 secs images stacked. The reason why expensive is in the title is on the walk back, I slipped on some rocks and the lens took a bashing. Goodbye Sigma 10-20mm RIP.

Great shot, but yeah sorry about your lens. I nearly had the same experience when doing waterfall light painting but luckily I was carrying my torch in my left hand and my camera was already set up on the tripod. But I fell flat on my chest which pushed the wind out of me and I thought I had re-broken my ribs, but after a quick assessment I was ok and continued to take photos albeit in a bit of pain.

Thanks for the comments guys. Yes Scott rocks hurt still limping with a swollen ankle now. Got the lens sorted on the home insurance, have to pay £100 excess and they are settling in cash so I can pay a bit more to get the constant f3.5 version of that lens :)
