Post-Mortem on a Failed Photo
A midday photo shoot last week ended in failure, with not a single usable shot being taken. The main problem being the time of day, with the sun being too high in the sky, and also my lack of time to compose. Let's analyse one of my failed shots.
1. The subject is the agapanthus flower, but it doesn't stand out from its background sufficiently. If I'd got closer or zoomed in, I could have produced a narrower depth of field, and allowed the background to blur and not distract from the flowers.
