...you look out the window and see an amazing sunset and have no where nice in walking distance to go to take a shot of it.

I'm surrounded by bloody houses and can barely see it.

I wish I hadn't looked out the window :(
 
great minds think alike, my missus was just saying the very same thing as i was reading this post :lol:
 
I'm genuinely gutted :( :lol:

I've just spent a week in a lovely place and there was heavy cloud on the horizon so no amazing sky. I come back to this dump to be greeted by an amazing sky.

Guaranteed if I go somewhere nice tomorrow its going to **** it down and I will get soaked :lol:

That's a shame - that would mean you didn't have the shot OR the experience OR the memory :'(

Some things don't get as far as film or card, it doesn't mean the whole 'being there and seeing it' is lost, though.

For all of those 'do you wish you had the camera with you' posts, there should be a 'I didn't have the camera, but so glad I got to see this' thread :)

The memory I have of it is being reminded of the rubbish place I live. So unfortunately as amazing as the sky was it leaves me with the frustration of being back at home and not in the lovely little seaside village I was in last week :(

Now if I'd have been in an amazing place and got to witness an amazing sunset then yes I would agree with you and wouldn't have been too bothered about having a camera on me. :)
 
I've experienced this oh so many times but the post above mine is pretty decent advice!

Now this is where you need to be creative....think of it as an opportunity missed to try something in your surroundings!!!
 
I'm fairly lucky with where I live, 2 minutes walk away is a farmers field with rolling hills and a view of Lincoln cathedral in the background (about 8 miles away) and going the other way there's a wooded copse with houses visible behind it. Had some stunning sunset pics from both ways, but a nice sunset in an urban area works just as well as a landscape IMHO, so as Tom says, get creative.
 
or , amazing sky, lovely place to take photo from, camera in house 20miles away !
 
Thats the way it goes Rob. On the other hand come Winter there are those that wake up on a sparkling blanket of frost or snow and just wish they had a lovely house to go to within walking distance ;)

This is the worst, was at the beach in the evening this weekend so I didn't have my camera with me (since I'm not too keen on sand getting into it) to snap the gorgeous sunset we had.

Sounds like where I live. :( :bang:


I love sunsets, but don't have a good location anywhere near to get any. :(
 
what you need is a huge turret on your roof!

when I see a nice sky I jump in the car and drive to the high ground - farmer's fields so not too exciting, but enough for me. I can pedal there too so don't always need the car :banana:
