What's your biggest fault?

My wife tells me that my biggest failing is that I judge people on my own standards and not everyone is such a perfectionist. (Thats life in general by the way).
With regards to my togging. I'm never happy with a shot taken. I always think I could have improved on the last shot. (but surely most togs do?)
Oh I dont suffer to**ers very well either. :bat:



Kev.
 
For me, the eternal torture of being a perfectionist who isn't perfect.

That and the fact I have zero creative vision leaving me taking nothing more than snaps.
 
Rubbish at photography (but I still enjoy it) ...and no self confidence.

Why isn't my sig showing?

Hmm. I always thought it was just me, but there is a recurring trend of lack of confidence amongst us.

I'm also the world's greatest procrastinator and have a habit of leaving things until the last minute.
 
I just wish I had the time and motivation to learn more about PP.
Pete.
 
I read photo mags, manuals, books, I read information on photo-forums on how to take better shots but I am a bit slow in taking it all in...I might start getting it right in about ten years ...but I am enjoying the journey :)
 
think it's gone OOF folks, moving :)

Intolerance :p
 
lack of self belief. I beat myself up about my work, i reject almost everything i do. I wont settle for anything less than perfect and if its not, or just doesnt work then i beat myself up.
 
Under tight time limits, i tend to not look at the screen enough, then i get home and regret it!
 
I look after things too well, examples,
I am too careful where I put anything down.
I have the only ride on lawnmower in Northumberland that is washed and waxed and sprayed with maintenance fluid after use. (I get excellent trade in prices)
I am fussy about where I park my car which needless to say is washed and waxed regularly, I even swap my alloys over with a set of steels if there is too much salting of the roads.
I strive to keep things in the condition I acquired them in be it new or s/hand.


I sometimes wish I did not care about looking after things, parking would be a doddle, my tog gear would have that used look about it instead looking like I have just been and bought all the gear and making me look brand new!!. I won't even put my bag down where it might get soiled. (note to anyone buying off me) :D



Is it a fault :shrug:
 
I hate saying sorry

I am insecure and I worry about daft things

I worry that I'll never take good photos

I forget to wear my reading glasses then wonder why I have headache

I take very hot baths (not good for the skin)
 
Struggling to understand that pictures can be taken of things that are not watches!:bonk:

I am the exact opposite, don't care about anything. My car looks like a bog on wheels, while the wheels have so many scrapes from kerbs you can hardly tell if they are alloys or not. I have so much stuff on my computer desk, I've just had to move some to see the bottom of the monitor and my camera gear is either left in it's bag and chucked in a corner or precariously balanced on a shelf which could come down at the slightest touch.

So I guess my biggest faults are lazyness and untidyness. :(

With regards to photography, it's without a doubt rushing the shot. There are so many photos I look back at and say "now why didn't I do that" or "If I had moved there it would have been perfect".

I must learn to stand back and look for a few minutes before grabbing the shot.
 
*Makes a mental note that buying from Galaxy will not be a risk, yet with caledonia...* :lol:

My faults.
I talk too much when I get chance to talk to anyone (Making up for all the time I am alone), which I think puts people off visiting me, or calling me.
I suffer with so many illnesses, injuries, discomforts ... But I never go to the doctors. Instead I learn to live with them, when I shouldn't.
Having just found a way to get mobile again, I am now petrified of doing so. I have been concentrating so hard on getting mobile, I have been trying to forget about my agoraphobia, and I am scared it will screw up all that I have worked hard to put right recently.

Photographically, the above applies to my previous excuses for not being able to do this shot and that shot. I'm scared that once I am able, I will find I am actually a really crap photographer.

I am too self critical in my photography, and spend hours trying to decide if I should upload a shot to flickr, let alone TP. Some make it, only to be deleted from my stream again within minutes :lol:.

Going back to my first fault, it also seems I type too much :lol: ... oh and use smileys too much :p
 
I seem to struggle most with ighting my shots properly outside.
 
At times if you asked my missus this question, she would answer with he still alive!!!
