Ethereal mists, boats, castle, reasonable composition... and bomber.

I presume the landmark bit is the mist, right?

With the various "bombs" you have posted recently I start wondering if you always bring your own personal bomber

I'm starting to wonder... I know it's not a family member i.e. an inside job.

In truth... just thought I'd post a few images that didn't work first time, might raise a smile or two here around the place.

I know you are an experienced photographer from before the invention of digital cameras, but I'm wondering if you are still using a view camera without a viewfinder. How else do these inadvertent bombers end up in your photos?

Your right enough... I’m blaming that black cloth.

In truth nearly all of my more static shots are tripod based. I tend to use shutter delay to shoot and usually step away from the set up. This avoids touching anything and this is when they seize their chance...

So in fairness perhaps they conclude I'm not shooting and they'll just pinch my composition.

You should adopt the Flakkorp approach and mount a 20mm AA cannon on your other tripod. They won't do it again, I tell 'ee!

Looks kinda heavy to carry around along with everything else... may need to engage Sherpas to assist.

Are you suggesting that there is a hole in the Pentax lens lineup?

No, there would be a hole in any bomber who didn’t get out of the way of that!

If we're sticking with 20mm... I'd rather have a Phalanx CIWS 20 mm M61 Vulcan Gatling gun autocannon.
