I had one last night. Went down the by the river for a drink after work as the sun was going down...the sky was cloudless apart from one small flat round clound (lenticular shaped) that was a degree or two directly above the sun.

For some reason, the way the light was hitting the cloud, it had a dark centre, but the outer edge was bright.

So I was watching the sun set over the river, cloudless sky, apart from this one, perfect halo directly over the sun. Of course my iphone couldn't capture it...

Gutted :(

Looked nice though...did anyone capture it?
 
Nope, but we've recently got a dog and I've discovered the delights of 6am walks, which at the moment means I get to see the Heron around the lake, deer around the lake, community forest and local streets! and brilliant sunrises.
 
I use the m60 over barton bridge on my way to work at the trafford centre every day. on friday, i was going for the 8am shift, so it was about 730, and the sky was dark and menacing as you look out toward manchester. except slightly to the right, and above the city centre, there must have been a parting in the clouds, and a beam of golden light was hitting the middle of the city, it was perfect. and without stopping on the non-existent hard shoulder, even my camera phone couldnt have caught it.
 
I did't spot it nope ...gutted for you sounds splendid, that'll teach ya.

Missed shooting a full moon right at the end of my street, blinking massive it was, from one side to the other ...Just got home, rushed in to grab the camera, phone rang ...etc etc ...Oh, no! ...the moon. ...rushed out and it had clouded over.

:bang:
 
I missed a cracker on my dog walk the other evening... my usual path, but that night the late evening sun was shining through the row of poplars in shafts of light and a tractor appeared over the ridge as a silhouette and was harrowing the field creating clouds of dust that shone up with the shafts of light.... all golden and beautiful.

b****r!!!

just a note, don't feed it -/+ 2 hours of it exercising as it's stomach could twist and it'll be in big trouble

Commonly referred to as stomach torsion - particularly prevelant in mid - large sized dogs(particularly herding breeds). Almost always fatal! Refers to too much water as well!
 
My missed once in a lifetime was ice curled like those surfer tube waves (windblown into shape I think) it was miles over mountains and minus 20, the compact battery only lasted about 6 shots... the snow wave was going to be no 7.
 
Missed one last night (well once in a weektime photo anyway). I was standing in line to go to a local club to watch Ocean Colour Scene (very good by the way) and I turned around to see the most amazing sky. If I'd been at home a 5 minute drive to my usual local sunset spot would have given me a corker. Oh well there's always tonight.

i take my camera off when i'm in the shower.
otherwise it's within reach.
so when that big green lorry suddenly pulls onto the verge in the south east, you now know why.
It's me and i've seen something i want to clicky.

you spent a lot of money on your camera why would you not take it with you:thinking:
