The secret of good photography is paying attenOooooh, shiny!

I was lying in bed watching a series of YouTube videos about strobe photography, mumbling about the noise of banging that had been coming in from outside for the last twenty minutes, until I could take it no more and looked out of the bedroom window...at a magnificent firework display, absolutely HUGE and beautifully framed outside my flat.

Of course, the camera was put away, the battery was on charge and the SD card was in the other laptop.

Which is why I didn't managed to get a single flippin' shot!

Must admit Azz I'm seriously impressed with the video quality from my new Samsung Galaxy S3.

But why is it you always see something great but you just don't have a camera to hand (I always forget about the phone camera).

I went for another lunchtime stroll by the lake a couple of days ago and a snake came swimming towards me, but no camera this time
