Top 10 missed "Perfect Shots"
-
Gowan now, confess to me. When was the last time you saw something amazing and didn’t have a camera around your neck?
Last year… walking up the road after getting me Cajun Chciken sandwich for lunch… Army fella with his rifle standing outside the local Bank of Ireland while big money’s being delivered or whatever…. anyway… there is a line of people waiting at the ATM… At the back of the line is a woman with a little fella in a buggy. The army has his rifle pointing down towards the ground beside the kid and the kid has his finger up the barrel of the gun… Army dude never even noticed. Dont think it would have been an award winner or anything but it would have been a good entry into the Juxtaposition comp on here…!

happens far too often, a tree on a hill, lovely clouds, swerve a bit, cars behind on my rear bumper, nowhere to pull in :twisted: :evil: :twisted:
i’d love a sticker for the rear of the car that says, warning photographer, will brake violently for photographs
Several years ago in Kilmore Quay, south of Wexford. Gery Fleming, the winking weatherman running up the pier in shorts and tee shirt…trying to get out of the peeing rain.
Says a lot for the man and his forecasting abilities!

years and years and years and years ago I was covering some kinda corporate gig
where Frank Kelly (Father Jack) was guest speaker-
He was telling jokes and singing songs,
and I was very green-Anyway, it came to the punchline of one of his stories,
and the buildup was very funny, and I got distracted with the laughter-So I didn’t get the shot where he slipped his hand down the front of his trousers
and wiggled his finger through his fly while he looked straight at me grinning wildly-So unprofessional…
still bothers me to this day-Walking through dublin on my way home from work, just around the corner, seeing a garda on horseback getting up onto the path, leaning over (still on the horse) and getting money out of the ATM!!
It was the most absurd thing I’d ever seen, and of course, plenty of people around with cameras, just not me!
I once had Charles de Gaulle in my “viewfinder”. But I had a different job in those days.
I always knew ‘Pete the Bloke’ was a code name-
but how to figure out your real name?
Charles Calthrop?

Love it! Have seen the best of shots while driving but always never a place to stop.
When I’m driving to work in the mornings, the sunrise is on the opposite side of the dual carriage-way. When I’m coming home, the sunset is on the opposite side of the dual carriage-way. What a bummer, have seen some nice ones lately but not going to risk running across four lanes of speeding traffic with my camera and tripod.

Like where I live, like where I work. Dilema! Dilema! Dilema! Maybe if the Almighty can flip everything 180ยบ it might work or else get work and 1400 staff and 12000 students to relocate . . . . . there’s an idea.
