What's your most disappointing photo of the day?!

I can give you all lessons on how to do bad right! LOL

I actually was trying to get a pic of it on the ground ...but it took off just as I pressed the shutter button!

the one of the ground , that was the last on the roll er chip until I cleared some others

Burn, almost great red, white and blue bird shot!
Nanny, you just think you can outdo me in the bad department! At least you have a lot of great photos! Love the blue blur!

Here's the red shadow bird.

Okay this latest mature male Ruby-throated Hummingbird is really giving me fits!

This is an awful photo of him. He just won't come around while I'm out there.

Oooh, he's a beauty! I like that photo. You clearly have high standards for yourself. I have a male hummer that only comes really early in the morning when it's still gray outside. I wish I could get him too.

Yesterday, I had two hummer disappointments. One was a hummer taking a bath on a leaf under the sprinkler about 6 feet away from me -- didn't have my camera. The other was a hummer drinking from my banana also about 6 feet maybe less. I had the camera but I thought it was turned off and I'd scare her if I turned it on, but no it was on the whole time! I guess those wouldn't be classified as 'disappointing photos' but as 'idiot photographer.'

when will they invent the "camera in my brain"

That is up there with the CSI software!! LOL

That cardinal would have been so beautiful Elphaba!
Pelle, it would be easier if they would just do what we ask, huh!

Well, here is mine for today juvie Gold Finch..and there are 2 shots.

they were so close...but my batteries were goin' on me...

Oh well, migh as well add this juvie RBW too...all my shots today are bad!!!! lol

Good ones nanny! ;-) Yes those hummers all seem to have different personalitys.

Nanny, good tries. That one finch has such an interesting mustard color.

Boy do I have some rotten photos to share today! I had a bad day, so I went to the arboretum. The bird watching was amazing! Saw a pair of pileated woodpeckers but didn't get a photo. Cool to see though, and then there was this one -- Great Crested Flycatcher, I think. I have another photo that isn't blurry but there's a stick across the face. This would have been the good shot if only it were a good shot!

Then there is this one which I think may also be a flycatcher. He was in the deep dark woods that even the flash couldn't penetrate. I tried enhancing the photo or just increasing the exposure, but it comes out weird.

Awww he is so cute...I think the flycatchers are all such cute birds!

here's your flycatcher with some level adjustments.

He's cute Mrs Ed!

Here's one from yesterday.

It's dancing for ya pelle! lol

Oh, that's not mine, that's Elphaba's picture lightened up.

Oops sorry about that.
