What is the best shot you got by accident or without really trying? Mine was taken on my honeymoon in Jamaica. Every morning my wife and I would wake up and sit on the beach while we had our morning coffee. It seemed we were the first ones up out of everyone at our resort (Sandals in Negril). It was so peaceful just sitting there looking at the ocean drinking our lava. Well each morning we watched this spear fisherman walking down the beach for his morning of fishing. I wondered about his every day. What was his life like? Was he fishing as a job or was it for fun or to put food on his table? Did he enjoy doing it or was it a chore? Well on our last morning there I brought my camera with me for our morning coffee because I was planning on walking around to get some last minute shots of some flowers and other things. I was not quite awake yet as the fisherman came into view (only had a few sips of my coffee) and though this would make a cool shot. I fumbled with my camera bag (did I mention I only had a few sips of coffee?) as he was getting closer. I finally got it open and grabbed my camera. I got the lens cover off and turned powered it up. He was right were I wanted him. I go to shoot and remembered I had it on the wrong setting. I was racing against time before he went behind a tree and I would lose my opportunity for good. I changed the setting and went to take the shot, but couldn't see the image in the LCD (this was before I had an SLR) because I had my sunglasses on. Time to shoot blind. I took the picture and prayed for the best. I was very happy with the result.
