Missed shot!

    In Tullamore today, at the roundabout at Tesco I tried to get a shot of a crow with a can of red bull in it's beak! It was like it was trying to drink it.
    Car on other side had squeaky brakes and it dropped the can before I could get the shot...but it would have been class!

    Anyone else miss any memorable shots lately?

    I've learned never tell anyone when you've missed a shot.

    I still regret missing that shot of Elvis arguing with Micheal Jackson last year. Their expressions were class!

    Wasn't there a thread awhile ago with everyone posting up pics of instances of this. Can't seem to find it...

    Get a stuffed crow and attach a red bull can to its beak, then put it somewhere believable and take photo.

    Success.

    Think it was a general "when things go wrong" type thread.

    I'd be very much in agreement with PCPhoto these days though. Smile and nod all the time.

    Thank you Challengemaster for the idea. Tried this a few years ago by having a friend in a gorrilla costume run and sit with Ronald Mc D http://www.ghosttheory.com/2010/04/07/fake-bigfoot-sigthings-scare-residents
    But alas nobody believed me. I think the same might happen here.

    In the words of PCPhoto - I'll stay stum from now on!
