Aeohr raid.

Dear Leadless,
This is an amazing example of INSTANT snapping.
No time to spend ten minutes composing it, like you do,
as I wanted to get the kids in.

Hope you survive the S-bombs in Ealing.

And how much time do you imagine I had to compose my "Bubbles" picture, with every element in it moving rapidly in all directions, and to take the shot while the rest of the walking group were standing around waiting for me?

And even when I'm alone and taking static subjects, I don't take ten minutes to compose a picture - I'll move around a little to find the best POV, but that takes seconds. With decades of practice the process becomes autonomic and one doesn't need consciously to think about composition at all.

And I'm not concerned about s-bombs because in Ealing we still have aeohr raid shelters.

Hoea well, I'm just going on past evidence. I don't know what you're like now.
But I'll give you an A for not splitting your infinitive.

If the picture justifies it, and I'm not on an organised walk, I'm prepared (demonstrating, in cases, superhuman patience) to wait for the sun to come out and/or cars and/or people to get out of the way, and/or a boat or swan to reach the right spot. But that is very different from taking 10 minutes to compose a picture.

As you know, I can be relied on to never split an infinitive nor use a preposition to end a sentence with.
