Always carry a camera

I'm sure this is why so many professional photographers say you should always carry a camera whether you plan to take photo or not.

On a recent business trip to Birmingham I decided to take my camera, the plan was to take some night shots as I was there over night. I arrived late after an early start, it was freezing and I still had work to plan for the next morning so after dinner I headed back to the hotel.

The following morning determined not to waste this oppertunity I took a detor to the office via the Birmingham Eye, how lucky was I. Great light, no clouds and a great subject meant wasn't going to leave dispointed, I've seen many images of the eye on Flickr and finally I have mine.

Lesson learned, always carry a camera, always be thinking of an image and never give in.
