Got a bonus pic for you today.
With every camera I've ever owned, I've got a shot that convinced me that I'd finally mastered the damn thing.
It might not be the best shot I ever took with that camera, but it's always the shot where the end result *exactly* matches how I saw the shot in my head when I took it.
This is that shot for my long-gone #Canon #5Dmk3.
If you've had that same experience, I'd love to see your shot too!

#onthisday in 1940, the #fleetairarm struck the #italiannavy's battle fleet in its anchorage at #taranto. This was a stunning success of a raid, leading to the permanent loss of one of the Italian's fleets modernised #dreadnought BBs (Cavour), and temporary disabling of two more, Duilio and Littorio. What is less well known is that this was the second successful raid by Swordfish against Italian vessels in a shallow anchorage. #ww2 #navalhistory #aviation
