😱
Unfortunately, I had an accident a while back and am still recovering from a knee operation. I can now walk with crutches.
My Biogon 35/2 turned up after over a week of waiting (it wasn't in stock even though the email said it was packed and waiting to go - sound familiar?) and I wanted to try it out. And the new M3. And I've been lying on the couch for 4 weeks - so I felt like getting out a bit.
I went into town and sort of strolled around a bit, took a cowardly shot in my favourite espresso bar, strolled a bit more, couple of pictures of buildings that haven't moved in hundreds of years - whatever.
Camera loaded, lens cap off, film advanced, hyperfocused, decisive moment hunting attitude etc.
Then I saw an interesting figure (OK, beautiful woman) hurrying across a street (no traffic allowed here), lazy pigeons behind her took to the air, beautiful backdrop, beautiful expression, wonderful light...
F***ing hands gripping crutches. :bang:
There was this other thread about knowing when you've taken a great picture. Well here's a great picture I would have taken. I could have been famous. Would have made god knows how many thousand euros all worth it. Arrrgh.
It's enough to make you give up photography and take up painting.
