Safety shot

Well, it's just another of my neighbors, the Twirly One. I just went trough the pictures of him, I took this year and I must say I'm a bit disappointed.

Not because the pictures are bad, but just because they vividly show the side of me I didn't really like. I'm not experimenting. Ever since I started, I've only used two or three spots to launch my drone and all the pictures are pretty much the same, except for the snow and leaves, of course.

And it feels like this is my weak side. Not only in photography, but in almost everything including my daily life. Once I found a more or less comfortable way to do something, I'm using it over and over and over again until I'm completely sick of it, even if it's not at all great. I stop at something that can be considered as good, instead of keep digging for something exceptional.

Even if I see that something here looks enticing from a little height, I can't stop pushing the button up to get a safety shot like this. But who the hell needs this safety shot? What's the point of getting twenty more or less adequate shots one just like another? Isn't it better to take one stunning picture, even if other nineteen look unbelievably ugly? Who cares about other nineteen?

And even if there's no stunning picture, even if they all suck, it's still better, cause at least you can say to yourself: "I tried, didn't I? Goddamnit, at least I did that."
dizzying perspective, love it! Don't be so hard on yourself
