People think that photography is so glamorous and easy that anyone can do it. Well, it's not; it's hell. And sometimes you miss the shot, as I have expertly depicted for you above.
I like to hang out at swamps, and on this particular day I was floating in the muck and mire in my float tube under a blazing sun. I happened to look over my shoulder just in time to see a mink launch itself from a log toward a wood duck that was swimming by. The mink missed and began swimming after the duck as I furiously tried to turn myself in the right direction. By the time I got myself turned around, the duck was well out of reach of the mink, which gave up the chase and disappeared back into the swamp. I didn't get a single shot off.
Bet you would have gotten the shot with your little iPhone.
