Where to begin-ok-
I'm making these my 1st official Fall photos with Kim Klassen's gorgeous new "Ladder" texture.
They're also 2nd chance pictures on learning & sharing a valuable lesson at making mistakes & forgiveness of ones self. Yesterday, I grabbed my camera, got comfy on the couch to view my pics...my 80 pictures I would download today.
To my horrible, heart dropping, and completely nauseating discovery, the LCD screen read NO IMAGE. What? How can that be? I looked again...Yep...NO IMAGE just kept staring back at me. Oh there were more than a few choice words as I frantically turned on my computer thinking surely I must have downloaded them-Nope-80 photos no where to be found. (more choice words!) I don't know what I was more upset with-the fact that I lost 80 pictures or more upset with myself at how I could have done something so stupid. I wanted to cry as I was realizing what all was lost-but I didn't. I knew I had to accept the fact they were gone. I was relieved that I'm not a professional & it was a client shoot-That made me feel a whole lot better!
I figured that I would just re-create what had been lost. As I started that task this morning, I realized everything is different. It's a different day, different lighting, different mood- With that said-
I have soothed my ego & can even theorize as to what happened-but it's moot. But because I am who I am, I believe 2nd chances are a blessing in disguise! Lesson learned-
Happy Snapping

These look amazing Kelly. Sorry to hear you lost your previous photos. Must have been heartbreaking. I love the use of KK's new texture. Really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've seen yellow bougainvillea before. We have the purple and fuchsia colored all over our neighborhood. They are one of my favorites. I don't think I've ever taken any macro shots of them. You're inspiring me once again to take some when they start blooming again. :-)
OMG! The horror!!!! Buuuutttttt with that said, those 2nd chance shots are wonderful. I especially love the 2nd shot of your 2nd chance! It would make a lovely card ♥
ReplyDeleteOhhhh but these photos are gorgeous! And I know the feeling of losing photos...when my computer crashed I lost hundreds! :( But that's life...and we can always take more photos!!! :)
ReplyDelete((hugs)) Miss you!
I don't know what you lost but what you shot the 2nd time is gorgeous!
