Should I care if you made the image with the newest Fujifilm 100 pixel camera or an old Kodak instamatic? Ought not the image stand by its own merits? The high end camera can take lousy images, and the instamatic can take great images - it depends on whose hands the camera is held.
Effort is not enough to turn a lousy image into a great one.
But it’s the challenging situations, the nightmare days, that you really learn from. Next time you’ll be ready, you’ll have some new workarounds, something extra in your bag, your planning will be more comprehensive. Any hack or amateur can take a great picture on a sunny day, but it’s all this makes you a pro!
Few know much about how this all works or care about the obstacles. We used to call it "pulling it through the funnel." Then, get ready for the next day.
On the upside, in the second pic - model in the car - the water droplets on the car add to the image.
I agree, actually! Happy accidents.

I think you are exactly. Right. It's the perseverance that's the differentiator. The boy scout "being prepared" thing.
Thanks for reading!

But, just think of the great stories you can tell, years from now, in the Old Photographer's Home?
There’d better be a home. And it better be affordable.
Yes, there will be an Old Photographers home, but you will need to upgrade every three years.
Hilarious.
