Letter of the Month

I got this image whilst visiting the Petronas Twin

Towers in Malaysia – I just casually looked up

and the sun was shining right at the centre,

partly hidden by the connecting bridge! It was

like the slice of sunshine was winking at me and

all I could think of was to commit the moment to

memory by frame. I wasted no time and hastily

took my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV out of the bag

(using the EF 16-35mm f/2.8 Mark III), set the

aperture to f/22 and clicked away. I knew that

any instant, the clouds would cover and the sun

would move, so I needed to work quickly. This is

the only shot I got. The next photograph was, of

course, covered by the clouds. Now that’s what I

call a damn lucky shot!

Amazing camera is so tiny it can

actually be mounted on a beetle!

Honey, I shrunk the camera! Scientists have

made a wireless, remote-control action camera

so small that it can be worn by a beetle, but is

totally wireless and remote controlled. More on
