'This is not what I wanted!' is one of the loudest screams we can hear in our heads (right next to that inner critic voice). Often, when we venture out with our cameras or during a photoshoot, we end up taking numerous photos. We return home feeling happy and fulfilled, only until we upload the photos to our computer and view them on a big screen. That's when our bubble bursts and we notice all the little (or big) things we wish were different - the focus isn't quite right, we should've used a different lens, there's unwanted movement, or we forgot to adjust the settings, resulting in noise. Quickly, this leads to dissatisfaction and frustration.
All of this doesn't happen because you had the wrong lens or it was too windy outside, or people moved at the wrong time. It happens because your expectations didn't align with reality. What you envisioned for your photo isn't what you ended up with.
