I had intended going to Gyles Quay which is a couple of miles from my home,
to catch the sunset. I spend too long in town, doing the grocery shopping and
making sure I had all the ingredients for the Christmas cake which my son
will be making at school next week. Yes, boys do Home Economics and I'm
delighted as hopefully it will mean he will be able to cook for himself whenever
he leaves home.
But I digress. Realising that the sun was sinking fast, I just had time to get home,
put the shopping on the table and tell my long suffering husband to stick the
chicken in the oven, hop back in the car and drive up our road to the seafront.
As I took some pics of the boats, I spied this fisherman in the water and thought
'bingo'- that's my PAD. Then I noticed another photographer with his tripod
a short distance away. He was still there when I returned home to see how
dinner was progressing. It made me wonder though - how different - or better-
would my pic be if I used a tripod, as I have to confess my tripod spends its days
at home.
