I missed one of the most beautiful shots Ive ever seen, but it was only half my fault. For years I have always carried a pocket camera with me. I dont call mine a point and shoot, because it has Aperture priority, full manual, exposure bracketing etc. Anyway, I was flying to Washington, and did think to have it my carryon. As we rose up through heavy clouds I found myself sandwiched between heavy solid clouds below, that looked like a comforter, another layer up above, and the sun setting in between! It was breathtaking, but the turbulence was so bad, the keep your butt in the seat light was on, and the flight attendant was watching me. I couldnt get to the camera 3 feet above my head. After the sun set "through the bottom layer of clouds" its rays came back up through, and it was like nothing Ive ever seen. Im so disappointed my camera wasnt in my pocket.
