Is it failure or a learning experience

I hope some of you checked out the video I posted on Substack, a behind the scenes of sort from a day in the field last week. The video was shot shortly after I arrived at my location. Let’s just say it wasn’t my most successful day of shooting.

This was the only “usable” shot I got and it isn’t the best shot.

American Kestral

This is an American Kestral (Falco sparverius). The picture is not great at all but it was the first time I got a picture of this bird so I will keep it for reference purposes. This happens when you’re out photographing. Sometimes you just don’t get any great shots. The key is patience and just enjoying being out in nature. If you keep this in mind, you will never have a bad day in the field.
