When you completely botch a shot, you can either discard it or embrace it and run with it. At least as long as there is something to run with.

I think I have seen this scene in a hundred movies but I just couldn't resist grabbing one for myself. :) It was taken on the 7th day of a ten day trip and already I was running on empty. I had originally intended to hike the area but I only really had time for a drive by shooting session. This is the entrance to the John Wayne Trail and there was even a sign saying so. I had done a long foreground to background composition but I botched the dof. :/ That's ok I'm going back in 3 weeks to exact my revenge, Hope you like it. Thanks. :)
And thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great weekend my friends :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.

Went out to shoot the Neowise comet, but came back with a lighthouse shot!
Last Thursday I had a Neowise shoot scheduled, but my plans were derailed by bad weather (cloudy and windy conditions). Postponed for next day (Friday last week) as weather forecast was reassuring. Upon arrival to the spot (Cape Roca, about 30 kms from Lisbon) I was dismayed as the conditions were exactly the same as in the previous day: cloudy (as can be seen from this shot) and extremely windy (impossible to use the tripod), making the comet shoot a mirage.
This Cape Roca’s lighthouse shot, proves I was there! It’s an handheld shot that I find interesting due to its original perspective. Taken from close to Bear Beach (northwards of the lighthouse) it provides a striking image of the amazing terrain that drops abruptly to the sea. The golden hour light enveloped the whole image and created a soft and beautiful mood.
Hope you’ll enjoy the remains of my botched expedition to chase a comet… Have a wonderful day, dear flickr friends!

First bird photo of 2020... off my balcony... chilly today but not too bad... three Jays in the trees, a Blackbird... I'll take the Laughing Dove... a good omen, yes?
I was hoping that the first bird I could get for 2020 would be the male Palestinian Sunbird we have around here. There is a pair that flits about around our building... I have seen the male last week with my bins and he is incredible with his iridescent feathers... I photographed him maybe three or four months ago also and because he is all black, I botched the exposure... I'm going to get that photo soon... I can feel it... :-)
In the mean time, I'm happy with this attractive Laughing Dove... took this without the 2xTC that I use out in the field...
This was taken a few years ago, and I was never really happy with the result. I was still new to LE photography and kind of botched the shoot. I figured a new edit might bring it to life, somewhat. Enjoy!

On a Sundial
~Hilaire Belloc~
IN SOFT deluding lies let fools delight.
A Shadow marks our days; which end in Night.
ON ANOTHER
How slow the Shadow creeps: but when 'tis past
How fast the Shadows fall. How fast! How fast!
ON ANOTHER
Loss, and Possession, Death and Life are one.
There falls no shadow where there shines no sun.
ON ANOTHER
Stealthy the silent hours advance, and still;
And each may wound you, and the last shall kill.
ON ANOTHER
Here in a lonely glade, forgotten, I
Mark the tremendous process of the sky.
So does your inmost soul, forgotten, mark
The Dawn, the Noon, the coming of the Dark.
ON ANOTHER
I that still point to one enduring star
Abandoned am, as all the Constant are.
ON ANOTHER
Save on the rare occasions when the Sun
Is shining, I am only here for fun.
ON ANOTHER
I am a sundial, and I make a botch
Of what is done far better by a watch.
ON ANOTHER
I am a sundial, turned the wrong way round.
I cost my foolish mistress fifty pound.
ON A SUNDIAL
Creep, shadow, creep: my ageing hours tell.
I cannot stop you, so you may as well.
ON ANOTHER
I am a Sundial. Ordinary words
Cannot express my thoughts on Birds.

textures thanks to Pareeerica for 'grungette' and Skeletalmess for 'botched painting'.
Ya gotta do it. It's just a matter of time before this botched, clean unit starts to look like the rest. And that is filthy dirty. So loaded with nothing but time on my hands to burn I headed for Dale to bang this gem under a blue dome at not one mile an hour under track speed.
Patience and Planning. The two ingredients that made this shot.
I've wanted this shot for 2 years now, but conditions must become optimal on multiple levels for it to fire.
The coast must have no fog. Do you know how rare that is, on the coast, late at night, during summer?
The tide must be one of the lowest of the year. Complete negative low tide. Small swell is also a big factor.
And finally, the Milky Way alignment window is very specific, so you must have your calculations precise or you will botch your attempt.
Everything came together last month and I called my good friend Josh Crites with the good news regarding weather. We drove down at 2:30am and scored until 4am. The bonus cherry on top was it was the first time we both had scored Shark Fin with no other photographers around. We shot the classic dead center cave comp first, then with 15 minutes left in our window to shoot we scooted towards the water and to the left, trying to get the entire Fin in the frame. This is the first cave shot of the Milky Way I've seen this far out and with so much Fin visible.
The green light to the right was a fishing boat throwing light from around the northern rim of the cove.
This shot is a blend.

I have been shooting RAW full time for roughly 9 years now, and editing them offer so much more flexibility than straight JPEG files off of the camera. In addition to shooting RAW for that long, I have been doing flash work for close to 7 now, and in that time, I have lost count on shots that I have botched in some capacity that I chalk up to learning experiences. However, there are a select few, a few photos that have fallen into a list that no matter how many successful trips since attempting, stay in my mind for my failures, photos that are painful lessons and make you hate this hobby and crush the desire to want to shoot anytime soon after.
Almost 5 years ago, when I was working in Lansing still, it was not often that I carried my night equipment to work, so there were opportunities that I missed, but for some reason on this day, I brought them to work, and at the time I was thrilled I had when I saw that L501 came out of the tunnel with BCOL 4642 leading. I got all my work done and had some free time at the end of the night when they were leaving Flint, and I made the decision to risk it at the Lansing Coal Tower, which for me at that time, going to at night was anything but something I enjoyed. As a result of this hesitance, I elected to delay my set up to limit my time there, which I grossly underestimated. With limited time to set up and plan accordingly, lights were not set up properly, no testing took place, and the shot was, at the time, deemed a painful failure that made the infamous list. The photo stayed on a memory card that was replaced with a faster card and resided in my bag ever since.
Fast forward to a few days ago, while dumping my active card, I noticed a wonderfully lit rainbow above my house after a brief thundershower, and in a moment of haste, I grabbed a backup card in my bag, the card that held this shot, and it was discovered this existed while looking through it. With fresh eyes, 5 additional years of editing experiencing, and some odd optimism that I could save it, success came to fruition. While it did take more work than what I like to do, the flexibility of RAW files came through, and took a photo that spent so long on the list of painful lessons was successfully removed and is now one I can call good enough.
I really liked the colors in this, but botched the ISO. I tried to salvage it and hide the grain by adding textures.
Thanks for the textures Clive
On the Go - Keeping up with Bobcats on the move is challenging - even when they are fully comfortable. They have their own plans and it's up to me to keep up without getting in their way and getting whatever images I can. Two general observations I've noted when photographing Bobcats are: 1. They don't like being followed from directly behind, 2. They don't like being suddenly cut off or blocked directly from the front. I've learned to stay parallel to them at a respectful distance and match their pace (almost like photographers do at track meet finishes). This way I'm moving with them and not trailing or cutting them off. I also noted that Bobcats and other mammals can move surprisingly fast through one's field of view. I found that using the same shutter speed ranges of 1/1600-1/5000 that I use for raptor in flight work really well for freezing mammals up close in a trot. Lastly, manual mode with bounded auto-ISO and exposure compensation has been a life-saver with subjects moving quickly through mixed shade/sun situations. I used to shoot full manual and would constantly botch situations like this because I wouldn't be able to keep up with my settings.
Species: Bobcat (Lynx rufus)
Location: Northern California, CA, USA
Equipment: Canon EOS R5 + RF 100-500mm IS
Settings: 1/1600s, ISO: 1000
While on vacation this week, I sought to restore a sense of mindfulness. Presence, breathing, listening, mindful walking, etc.
As a serious semi-pro photographer sometimes I turn vacations into all-out affairs. In fact, I was supposed to go to Portugal.
However, a canceled flight and a botched reservation took me to the Blue Ridge Mountains instead. It was not a great photography trip in the classic sense.
It was a great place to immerse myself in quiet, perhaps the vacation I needed. I found this little red finch staring at me about 20 yards above me in the canopy. He even seemed to pose for me, a moment that lasted five minutes until I decided to move on.
Presence, listening, seeing, understanding. All of this is available to me. I have to remember that the lens is an extension of my mind, and the subject and image reflect that.
Breathe deeply this week.

The New Palace (1763 - 1769) with its adjoining buildings forms the end of the Sanssouci palace park - an imposing counterpart to the small, intimate Sanssouci.
Frederick II himself called the New Palace a "fanfaronade", a show-off, a boast, because he only used the magnificent building as guest accommodation and a setting for lavish parties.
Interesting facts from the construction period:
The construction workers had to work quickly and put up with botched work. They also had to imitate the expensive brick in poor Prussia. The façade was painted red and then the joint lines were white painted on!
The New Palace - a prestige building, is the most impressive and largest building in the Sanssouci palace complex. With its pompous interior, long suites of rooms, lavishly decorated banqueting halls and galleries, the palace was fascinating even then - and still is today.
Das Neue Palais in Potsdam
Den Abschluss des Schlossparks von Sanssouci bilden das Neue Palais (1763 - 1769) mit seinen Nebenbauten - ein imposante Gegenstück zum kleinen, intimen Sanssouci.
Friedrich II. selbst nannte das Neue Palais eine "Fanfaronade", eine Angeberei, Prahlerei, weil er den Prachtbau nur als Gästeunterkunft und Rahmen für üppige Feste nutzte.
Interessantes aus der Bauzeit:
Die Bauarbeiter mussten schnell arbeiten, nahmen Pfusch am Bau hin. Außerdem mussten sie im armen Preußen den teuren Backstein imitieren. Die Fassade wurde also rot angestrichen und dann wurden die weißen Fugenlinien aufgemalt!
Das Neue Palais - ein Prestigebau, ist das beeindruckendste und größte Bauwerk der Schlossanlage Sanssouci. Innen pompös mit langen Zimmerfluchten, üppig verzierten Festsälen und Galerien faszinierte das Schloss schon damals – und tut es heute noch.

For Baz, the one and only Don of my heart.
This mature Bald Eagle tried to catch a fish in the water but I don't see a tail dangling, so a botched effort. You can see the water dribbling from its claws. It was also snowing for this shot, thank goodness not a lot but just enough to make it interesting.
Taken 19 February 2020 near Homer, Alaska.
I'm not at all happy with Germany's recent track record regarding COVID-19. Despite a good beginning in 2020, some luck and a supportive nation, it got out of hand in recent months and we are now looking at botched vaccine and point-of-care test orders, scattered responsibilities, inconsistant messaging from the government and exhausted people. We are still in a kind of lock-down, but those not working from home commute to work, schools are re-opening, only 5% have been vaccinated so far and it's like we are letting it run its course now.
Good luck with that, Germany.
I took this shot earlier today. It was cold and I had just made some adjustments on my camera after realizing that my earlier shots of the day were pretty much botched because I made an error in my mind. You see I forgot to reset my white balance from the other day. The truck heard my curse.
Like clockwork, the Hugo Job gets going just minutes after the Belt Job cleared the diamond over the St. Paul Sub. Here they go by the pond near Kasota Avenue, I'm sure the algae is coming soon that will botch up the reflection here.
