The expectations would have been to high for me! :) This is a truly wonderful image! I don't know how you ever captured that light on the table! Thanks for the reminder to let go of some of our expectations in life and in photography. I have just started reading "Understanding Exposure" and I'm looking forward to working through it!Cathy H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10779935742253650385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-12351774353381195262013-02-05T14:21:21.448-08:002013-02-05T14:21:21.448-08:00Count me among those who are in awe of that wonder...Count me among those who are in awe of that wonderful fog photo! We don't have fog so I'm doubly infatuated with it. Oh, expectations! Why do we let them spoil things for us? We had a similar vacation last summer where things didn't go exactly as expected (the weather wasn't cooperating) but I decided to focus on the things I COULD control and let go of the things I couldn't. Thanks, Kim. Such a good reminder for all of us!terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-1751433342633933482013-02-05T11:30:17.607-08:002013-02-05T11:30:17.607-08:00such a beautiful shot...love that little bit of gl...such a beautiful shot...love that little bit of glow on the table top. <br /><br />photography brings so much joy to my life, but in all truthfullness it has brought on some pretty major frustration too. especially in the beginning. and you're right - it's so hard not to compare our work to our own expectations and/or other great photographers' work. <br /><br />it's just like you said though, it's all in the balance - in life and photography. thank you for sharing!kellyhttp://mindingmynest.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-52467223673829221392013-02-05T11:15:40.409-08:002013-02-05T11:15:40.409-08:00Fog is one of my all time things to try and photog...Fog is one of my all time things to try and photograph!!

I am glad that as I get older (and hopefully wiser) I am able to breathe a little better, to let go a little more, and to not freak out about some of the little things.

Both can be frustrating at times, but I'm also learning to breathe and just let go, to enjoy it while I'm there.
