Global Wildlife Conservation is holding a photo fails contest on Instagram. If you have a near miss image with a great story you have the chance to win an amazing grand prize. I don’t expect this to be a winning loser, but it is definitely a #wildlifephotofail. In April I spent a day on safari with Daniel Dietrich of Point Reyes Safaris. He picked me up at dawn in hopes of seeing Tule Elk at sunrise. The sky was clear and sunrise spectacular. We positioned ourselves to photograph the Elk with that big sun. I have a couple of okay shots but I could never get an impressive bull in a satisfying pose, other than one with skewed antlers. Fail! After that we turned our lenses toward the sea where there were some impressive elk grazing on the rim. Tonight I pulled up my best frame with both separated and looking in the right direction and then I noticed. Both are urinating in this frame. Double fail! April 2017
Kατασκευαστική αστοχία ή άστοχη μελέτη και το τελευταίο τμήμα της μαρίνας Βραχατίου που φτιάχτηκε (περίπου) στα τέλη της δεκαετίας του '80 βυθίστηκε χτυπημένο από τα κύματα. Στα δεξιά φαίνονται τα άνω τμήματα που βυθίστηκαν. Ο μικρός φάρος που φαίνεται στο βάθος έχει πια βυθιστεί κι αυτός...

I'm actually in this picture. Floating seemingly weightless in the air in embrionic bliss.However I forgot to turn the flash on, sooo...
The sharp 1-in-76 climb from Westbury Yard towards Dilton Marsh Halt proved too much for 'Western' No. 1048 'Western Lady'. Heading a substantial train load of ballast from the Mendip quarries towards Salisbury on 12 June 1975, 'Lady' was struggling from the outset and finally succumbed part way up the bank. The driver and guard are deep in conversation while awaiting rescue. Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved

We spotted this red tailed hawk on a tree and it then launched into a full speed attack into a bush in front of us. Here is the hawk taking a brief pause after the failed attack before it took off

I put off my picture again until the last minute and tried to shoot a water droplet illuminated by an off-camera flash with a purple gel. Working with speed lights has always been a frustrating experience for me as I have not mastered how to set them up or control them properly. This is the best of the bunch and it is not sharp or clear, but sometimes we have to fail to figure out the areas that need improvement. I might have to keep working on this type of image until I master it.
