Painful truths - when the Quality is not there

I met a friend at Scone yesterday who was patiently waiting for the weather to lift in the English Midlands so he could deliver his Robin to it's new owner in the SW of England.
To cut a long story short by the time that I had got around to taking a photo of his aircraft, the sun which was shining disappeared behind a cloud and I ran out of time and had to go home.
The photo that I did take was crap, ruined for the lack of good sunlight.

I was lucky in that I got a second chance but I had to go the extra bit further in getting up to Scone at the back of eight on a Saturday morning to meet my friend and get that last photo before he departed.

The moral of my story is that we have to have the courage to delete photos because they are not up to scratch. No one wants to look at a bad photographs so it is up to us to be honest with ourselves by not submitting poor photographs for publication, no matter how personally important they may be.

I was lucky in that I got a better photograph the second time around.
