Well I´ve got my mojo back
And to make up for last week´s dismal effort I´ve got 2 photos for you this week
As you might expect by now 'FUN' got me thinking.
And my first thought was 'Isn´t that for kids?'
My second thought was 'I don´t have any fun in my life now'
I was talking to a friend this week and she asked me 'Is today a good day?' and I said I don´t have good days any more only not quite so bad days. And she said that that was really sad and that surely it was all relative. If I felt a day was less bad then surely wasn´t that the same as a good day and I said no, because I compare my life now to what I was able to do before.
I used to ride a motorbike, I learned how when I was in my 40´s and only perservered after my instructor on CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) said I would never be able to master it!
I thought 'Bugger that for a game of soldiers' and found a different instructor who was very patient with me so I passed my CBT. It was because I had (and still have) a problem with balance. Nevertheless I went on and bought a 125, took practical lessons on a Honda 500 and passed my test first time
I then bought a Honda Hornet (600cc) in bright yellow because I said I wanted a yellow bike with a big, fat back wheel
I then went on and passed my Advanced test and joined the Institute of Advanced Motorcyclists :razz:
Fun for me was doing a round trip of 100 miles for a cup of coffee and a bacon sandwich I can´t ride a bike anymore and sold it 5 years ago when we left the UK.
So, I thought, what fun is there in my life now? And realised it was photography. Allright, for some of this challenge it´s more of a pain than fun, but the fun is when you capture something you don´t expect, that you weren´t really looking for, then you get home, load it onto the computer and think WOW. This has happened quite a lot I´m happy to say (although not last week) but when it happens it´s a fantastic feeling and that´s what I got this week.
I had an idea of what I was after, a sort of 'anti-fun' shot that I took with my compact after I´d been to the docs on Wednesday and I put my trusty Canon in the boot when I went back to see him on Friday and then forgot completely to take the shot and only remembered when we were on our way to the beach to get some lunch.
Never mind, I thought, I´ll try and get something at the beach, and WOW, this is what I got ........
I´ve never tried an action shot before but this was too good to miss.
And this is what he was hanging on to .......
