I've heard this a few times but it was graphically demonstrated to me last Saturday. I was attending the annual Leuchars Airshow and was one of thousands of photographers looking to capture ace shots of aircraft various. A forest of expensive glass was aimed towards the runway and the air above as airborne hardware of all shapes, sizes and loudness swept past. A companion in my small group, who was not an aviation enthusiast or indeed much of a keen photographer did what, as I said as the start, I had heard a few times and that was to look behind. The image she captured was certainly arresting; lens after lens, after lens all orientated in the same direction. So I now know it is true and often an image is waiting for you in an unexpected place - behind you!

The Gallery has not been flooded with images obviously taken with a super wideangle lens this week. The reason is simple - it has not arrived! Indeed the supplier has informed me the courier company has lost it. However I have received a full refund and they have sent me a 8Gb SD card as a goodwill gesture. New supplier found, order placed, so hopefully I'll have the lens in the next few days!
