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

2008.08.04
your shadow gets in the way

so do powerlines

ditto a pole

there's not enough light

or too much

nothing is in focus

you cut off his head

you don't realise there's a mirror in the background

you forget about the flyscreen on the window

you really need to get a tripod

you just can't get close enough

your subject hides

there's too much reflection

or cloud

there's a football on the Eiffel Tower

you get close to a butterfly but it's not looking good

There's something seriously wrong with your camera (but you kind of like the effect anyway)

For my 401st post (I forgot yesterday) I thought I'd share some more of my failures :-)

relee It is what it is, fun to take photos. I just take what I like, no fancy equipment, no cropping or altering, so this set to me is so real. Thanks for sharing=)))
