Okay, So I Came Off Second Best

I’d just recharged the batteries on my camera a few weeks ago when I shot this frame, while my son – barely in his teens – was playing his guitar. I was rather pleased with the shot of the tuning keys (also referred to as machine heads) . I showed him the result on the display screen of my digital camera. ``Hang on, Dad,’’ he said, ``just give me the camera for a minute, because I think this angle’s even better.’’ Continuing to hold the electric guitar in his left hand, he took the shot with his right hand. You know what? His effort was much better than mine – and I’m proud to admit it.
