...from the dark corners of my mind...

I'm hanging out on the back deck with a bunch of relatives. I look up at the sky and see some strange black and gray clouds with red outlines around them. They almost look like they were drawn with crayons or maybe something from a video game. As I watch, they are growing larger and are filling the sky quickly. I quickly decide to retrieve my camera from the car which is just as the bottom of the steps from the deck. I open the door and grab my camera bag from the seat.

I run back up to the deck and pull out the camera. I power it on and pull off the lens cap, then aim for the sky and press the shutter button halfway to see if auto-focus will work. The built-in flash pops up, so I lower the camera and check the flash settings. I turn off the flash and try again only to have the flash fire before I am even done aiming the camera. I check the settings again and see that the flash is on 'Auto', so I turn it off again. When I raise the camera again, the auto-focus is just hunting and will not lock onto the clouds. I switch to 'Manual' and try again only to have auto-focus kick in just before the shutter triggered.
