A photographer wraps up a frustrating day at York River State Park, where backlighting and distant birds made good shots impossible. He reminds viewers that setbacks happen, especially at familiar spots, and the answer is simple: keep shooting, accept the losses, and come back tomorrow.
So I'm just about to wrap up here at York River State Park and head back to the car, but, um, I haven't had much success. So I just wanted to talk about that real fast and say that's going to happen, right? And it can be really frustrating. It can be frustrating when it's a place that is close by that we go to a lot. It can be much more frustrating if you're somewhere on a trip and you, uh, might not have a chance to get back out there anytime soon. But That said, I've seen a lot today, and mostly it's been that the light has been behind my subject, um, and that I haven't seen a lot of the larger birds that I would like to see, at least not close enough that I could get shots of them. So, um, like I said, it can be frustrating, but I'm not gonna stop, and I hope you don't either if you get frustrated with that stuff. So just keep going out, just keep taking pictures, and you know, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. See you next time.
