I'm a semi-pro photographer, some people on the forum know that... I also have a geeky thing for Remembrance Day documentary photography...
For the Saturday Remembrance Day ceremonies, I was out and about for much of the day, taking photos... It was a struggle, too bright, too much sun, very challenging... By the end of the day I came home and wasn't feeling all that thrilled with my results, I feel... I know I've had better years
All the same I did my edits and a Facebook post, because it's important to me, but still feeling like I let myself down
Been getting comments like:
"Your album this year was extraordinary!"
"James takes lovely pictures and always has a Remembrance Day set."
"Still taking great photos, James, keep the good work up"
And some other comments, but I still feel like mud because I know I could have done far better, and yes I push myself too hard at times.
Then talking to a friend today about positive comments, she remarked that it's usually those people who are right.
I'm still not sure who is right... And I still feel like I've failed myself... There are definitely some things I'll change for next year... I'm not trying to pull the sympathy card, but this is how I feel at times...
