Sometimes, errors can actually be turned into something more creative than I originally imagined. However, If photography was my vocation and not my avocation, there would be a lot more pressure toward perfection.

All part of the process! Loved this post today and as I'm getting ready to hit the road for Portland, I will take a moment to pack my camera manual (just in case), check all my camera settings...oh yeah, and charge those batteries!CarolHarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535526506601587242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-15842535628951811892015-02-09T07:41:52.450-08:002015-02-09T07:41:52.450-08:00terri this is the best advice.

I've done all of these and more. :) it's always such a wonderful reminder to know that photography is a journey and a continual learning process. going to take this advice to heart today. xokellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153095149911030832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-8322450406195041712015-02-09T06:44:02.023-08:002015-02-09T06:44:02.023-08:00Oh yes....let's see, went to the sunrise and c...Oh yes....let's see, went to the sunrise and couldn't find my tripod mount (forgot to double check the night before). Followed all the instructions on how to use a neutral density filter just to see everything blown out - WHAT? I've left with three batteries in my bag to realize I forgot to charge them...or to download the pics from my memory card. Oh the list goes on...and on...but I think when we make mistakes, and forget to check things, it pushes us, makes us who we are as photographers, as humans. We learn patience, and perseverance and hopefully we learn to be spontaneous...to live in the moment even though it's not perfect.

I've done all of these and more. Just...Oh, yes! I've done all of these and more. Just when you think you've learned not to forget the white balance ... darned if you don't go and do it again. But I think that's the thing about photography that keeps me engaged: it's an ongoing learning experience. Yes, Photoshop has saved many a day for me but my quest is to become less reliant on PS. That means paying more attention to the little things when I'm shooting. One of my biggest things is forgetting to zoom in to make sure the photo isn't soft. That little LCD screen can lull you into false security. Good reminders, Terri!Dottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811399388989716265noreply@blogger.com
