#300 Don't you just hate it when ...

2008.03.01
a light pole gets in the way

ditto power lines

your subject moves at the last minute

or changes its pose

you don't get the focus quite right

or not even close (great shot of the weeds in the background)

there are reflections in the window

it rains

you find a great frame but nothing to fill it

your shadow gets in the way

you find a beautiful bird but it's behind bars (and you're glad that it is!)

you get a pretty good shot but the background is awful

you don't take the time to compose the shot

other people get in the way

or a bus

or your camera's just not up to the job

For my 300th post, I thought I'd share some of my failures with you :-)
