Re: Have you ever missed taking the best photo ever?
I have Sandra. Once, when we were on holiday at one of the Austrian lakes, we walked down to the lakeside after a thunderstorm and there was a rainbow over the lake with a ferryboat going away from us right underneath the rainbow. With the mountains in the background it would have made a wonderful photo but I didn't have my camera with me.Re: Have you ever missed taking the best photo ever?
It sounded a lovely image Sandy My camera is rubbish so rarely used and I have had that feeling many times.Re: Have you ever missed taking the best photo ever?
One I will regret for ever...on safari and we suddenly came across a leopard lying across a fallen tree. For a few seconds (seemed like hours) nobody moved, the leopard just lay there looking at us. Our safari guide signalled us to take photos and I´m sure I got some really good ones before the leopard left the lot and disappeared into the undergrowth. We then carried on to the safari lodge. After breakfast next morning we set off again to our next destination but on arrival there I had no camera, I´d left it in the dining room of the safari lodge we stayed the previous night. Despite contact with the safari lodge there was no sign of my camera, gone forever. No doubt the next group of tourists had picked it up, I left it hanging over my chair, it certainly wouldn´t be the staff at the lodge, more than their life is worth and they are checked every time they leave work. So I guess you could call that a missed shot. It is rare to spot a leopard and I´ve been kicking myself ever since. I have been on many safaris but only ever that once seen a leopard.Re: Have you ever missed taking the best photo ever?
Well yes, the topless girl in the pool swimming on her back, in Kefalonia being one, but of more value the countless Kingfishers who have not seen me and perched on the end of my fishing rod, moving off at my slightest movement.Re: Have you ever missed taking the best photo ever?
