With the wonderful equipment of a digital camera that number has risen exponentially - the only draw back to having soooo many pictures is when they need to be loaded, edited, labeled, etc.
So I make sure to try to do this timely - that way I can clear the camera to be able to take more photos!
But what I've discovered is this phenomenon that lately, well... I am terrible at taking photos! I know that I'm just being hard on myself but I have to be honest, they are just not that great.
Every once in a while one will come out beautiful and makes me go all happy skippy inside - but for every good photo there is a bunch of blurry, yucky, poorly lit, badly framed, ick...
Compound that with the fact that I almost ALWAYS forget to clean the lens before taking pictures.
Sigh.
Okay, its just me being hard on myself I know, but I am soooo frustrated because these moments are not getting captured! I am happy that I have some sort of documentation of an event of another, but if its blurry or too dark its not very aesthetic to look at, so why keep it in my files...
These are the thoughts that flit through my brain as I upload my pics and try to find the best ones I have...
And every once in a while I come across one that looks cool because its blurry or fuzzy, but I am so glad that I don't take pictures for a living! I just don't want to be the one who gets known for taking bad photos. My pride and conceit has risen again!!
So here's how I will combat this: I have a new goal to learn how to use my camera properly so that I can use it to my best advantage and learn to not be so hasty to try to capture every detail - we'll see how that works.
For now I'll take what Serendipitous pics come my way. :)
