It was a senior moment indeed. What was I thinking? (Not much: next time just press that Mode button, David!)

After an hour traipsing across Moreton Bay's tidal flats, I gave up trying to photograph our recently returned waders. It was time to track down something that wouldn't fly off; fortunately, I found the perfect prey — a stranded jellyfish!

In my excitement, the camera was left in BIF mode: pre-continuous raw at thirty frames per second. There was no way that this jellyfish was going to escape! Anyway, I needed to take a break and lie down on the beach for a while.
