Life is like a camera....

Life is like a camera....



I saw this and thought it so sums up what life should be about. So what do you take from that failed attempt? For me, I take the lesson learned and try again, I take another shot. Although, my next shot is usually from a different angle or a different approach. By the way “fail” stands for “first attempt in learning.”

I took my camera out shortly after getting it to get some pictures of the beach I love so much and found out after a couple of shots I had not learned my first lesson very well. I had to readjust my settings and see if the new settings would work better, create a better shot. My photography course is a lesson in patience, as well as balance of light and shutter speed. I don’t expect to be an expert overnight. It is impossible to learn all in one outing. As time goes on I will learn what works and what doesn’t. It will take time for me to get to the point I feel comfortable in most settings. I will not stop taking the shots.

Such is the same with life, if it doesn't work the first, second, or even the tenth time, never stop taking the shot. You may find you missed the perfect shot if you are unwilling to give it a try.

Probably true, I know I take a lot of pictures with my new camera which get deleted because I don't have the settings figured out yet. lol

I think we are shaped more by the mistakes we make, and what we learn from them, than our successes.

Drop in and visit my blog sometime, but you'll probably regret it

I agree, we should learn from our mistakes if we are to grow to become better people. It is a shame more don't take the lesson learned and move on.
