Beautiful sky!

I could just kick myself when I see something beautiful like this and don't have my camera - it's very colorful!!

I know the feeling - every day on the train on the way home for the past week we have had incredible sunsets & i've missed them by the time I get home!

For me, it's either that I've forgotten to bring along my camera (rare), or that I can't get to a decent enough place to take the shot. That would have been a beautiful shot if you'd had your camera. Those colors are outstanding!

you have missed ur camera n we have missed a gr8 share from u... stick to ur cam....

A little camera shake and some motion blur may be accepted as artistic when the image carries such beautiful colors and interesting composition.
I like it! And I admire the fact that you try to get the best pictures from any situation when you see a photo-opportunity.

Contrary to your title, I experience the total opposite during the last weekend.
I was inspired by your thread and I'll post some of the images.

With your permision, I'd like to used your title as part of mine.
Hope you don't mind.

Thanks!

I had exactly the same this morning. Took the dog out at 6am and the sunrise was the deepest orange, kept muttering to myself "should have remembered the camera"....
This is still pretty cool though!

I frustrated myself twice this week by not having my camera with me and missing some great opportunities. And I even bought myself a little point and shoot to keep with me all the time!

What amazing colors one can see in a sunrise!

and naturally i remember my camera today, and it's dark and cloudy with no color at all! just my luck!!!

there's actually a shot i have in mind for days like that one as well, so i'm now hoping for another one to happen soon.
