A Mediocre Salvage Effort

Some days, no matter the effort, your end results are not up to standards. Outside factors - like no time to shoot, darkness, and strong winds - simply are not conducive to producing the image you had in mind. The best you can do is try to salvage some part of a composition to make a somewhat pleasing image.

Tonight was such a night. In fact, even now I am tempted to go out after dark looking for something photo-worthy. Instead I will share my mediocre photo to show that I do not always have great photo days. I too strike out. Some days are photo-failures.

Tomorrow will be a fresh start. I am hopeful for something better.
