I had a lot of shots in my mind today, went out and took them all. None of them came out anywhere near what I wanted. All garbage. So I decided I just wouldn't have a shot today, worse things have happened in life. Then I looked out the window and saw a covey of quail out in the yard. I knew I could hide behind a fence and use it as a bird blind and maybe get something cool. So out I went.
Garbage. All garbage. Those quail really move fast, even when they are standing still!
Then I took another look at the shots I took today, and this duck shot stood out. I recropped it, and now I have a shot for the day!
Each day I am going to attempt to upload a photo to this space, and write about it. My purpose is twofold; to improve my photography skills and to improve my writing. As an educator I believe that I should practice what I preach. I ask my students to constantly improve their work and to reflect on it regularly, so why shouldn't I. Doing so in a public place holds me a little more accountable for doing it.
Wow. I LOVE this one!
