The Almost

I raise my fictitious can of beer (PBR to be exact) to the ones that got away. The almosts. The only key frame out of 4-5 motor driven frames that isn't tac sharp, and yet has somehow gone completely out-of-focus for just one frame, THE frame. It happened at baseball yesterday and I missed the soccer ball today by a millisecond. This only means to get back out there and get better! Oh the defeat! The frustration! The hilarity of the whole thing. I love it! Maybe the photo wouldn't have been anything, but it's the principle of it all.

And one that got by the goalie and not me. ZING!
