I was thinking of you and your signature line just two hours ago. Here in Phnom Penh the rainy season is just starting, we just had a huge thunderstorm passing by the city a few hours ago. In the aftermath I went to pick up pizzas around 6 PM our time and the light was just fantastic. I saw two fantastic images, I had nothing to capture them with, one towards the setting sun over a couple of taller buildings and one to the east, with the sun behind me lighting up an old Soviet apartment building that is falling apart. I often bring my S100 in the car but just forgot this time and I missed it. I'll bring it tomorrow though.

Have a great weekend!

Two weeks ago, after a winter of shooting a great grey owl at considerable distance, on the only day I didn't have any camera with me, there he is, perched on a limb 2 meters away.... I watched him for thirty minutes thinking that you could have gotten great shots with even an iPhone...... A camera sitting at home is useless!

We live and learn. There'll be more raim the coming week. I will go and get that shot with the setting sun on that building and post it here. Framing will be difficult, but if I can get near what I saw today I will be happy.
