This is the amusing moment an elderly beachgoer tried to make a video of the ocean - only to have the camera flipped the wrong way round. Pierre Sinel, 70, from Hamilton, New Zealand, was visiting the beauty spot in Bali, Indonesia, when he decided to capture the scene during an early morning walk on May 14. But Pierre had forgot to touch the screen to flip the camera towards the sea. The bright sun meant he could also not see what was showing on the display. The resulting video shows hardly anything but the grey-haired and bearded pensioner breathing in the fresh air. Pierre said: ''I'd been on the night before and bumped into friends. I turned the brightness of the screen all the way down to save the battery. In the morning when I made the video, this combined with the bright day light meant that I couldn't see what was on the screen and had no idea I was actually recording myself.'' Pierre said he was ''70 years old and not entirely computer literate''.
