Sometimes you are in just the right place, sometimes not!

Now we all know that sometimes we are in just the right place, sometimes we aren't!

These things are in the lap of the Gods... or so we like to think.

But maybe not? I ask this as, if it is JUST down to random luck, how is it that Russ Allen seems to be in just the right place at the right time so often? Clearly talent can swing the odds in his favour.

This question also holds relevance to my work as a photographer. But clearly I'm not so talented in my positioning.

Yesterday at the GFC v Marlow football Russ 'found' himself in the perfect spot to score GFC's first goal. Actually I was quite well placed to capture the complete sequence including the celebration. Maybe luck, maybe talent? That is the question. Ha, ha.

But my luck/talent had worn off for the second GFC goal as when Sam Murray scored with a dramatic overhead kick my view was mostly blocked. You can just make out his flying boot in my pics.... if you look carefully!

Hmmm, I enjoyed having a bit of talent... while it lasted!

Now I've decided that to make myself feel better I'm going to go with the idea that everything is just down to luck. Good and bad! What do you think?
