I have made tons of mistakes and I still make them all the time. Often I don’t even see the mistake until I have viewed it many times on my monitor. I have had plenty of images published and later see my glaring mistake in print.
For my own learning experience I went back to my most used images: the ones that I post on my favorites galleries and use for marketing. I have used hundreds of images for marketing so I have a lot to go through. I am still searching for more.
My eyes are more open now. I have learned new poses and ‘rules’ and concepts that help me see these mistakes better. Some mistakes are glaring and some seem a little picky to talk about. Some I will not use again because of the mistakes. Others can be fixed. Some are powerful enough for me to use and just ignore the mistakes. In fact some you would not see these mistakes at first until I pointed them out.
A powerful emotion or composition can trump technicality. An out of focus image can look great on the web. Sometimes a mistake is just not that big of a deal. I want to keep adding to this album because I will learn from it.
I hope it helps you also.
Check out each shot and my comments are there!
