and the subject is moving:
I used to delete such photos until my nephew asked: Why?
He’s right, of course. I wouldn’t have stuck these photos in a photo album but storage is not a problem these days. To be honest – the sense of movement, the essence of these animals, is somehow expressed through these less-than-perfect shots.
And occasionally a challenge comes along where I can even use these pictures.
The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Movement.

I agree – these are worth keeping and I have some in a folder that is called “mistakes” but they might come in handy for a challenge or writing post someday

and both of the ones here have a nice mood – the green and lively first one and earth tones and quieter second one (to me at least)

One day I might find a use for that not quite right photo is my excuse for the non delete. Some do get deleted especially when I have more of the same whoopsie 😀

I have the same problem. But with practice, you get faster. Sometimes blurry photos do come in handy 😉

Exactly. I particularly like the first one.

Definitely a chaffinch! Most of the online photo places like Shutterstock and Pixabay would never except these shots. Sad really they have a certain abstract nature that looks great.

I love such blurry captures, especially when the surroundings of the blurry subject aren’t so blurry as the subject it self.
One handy option to capture such objects in movement is to use the Burst mode in camera.

Yes, I know. But those birds usually flit by so fast that I have only got time to press the release – and that often comes too late.

Burst mode will help you for sure. Do try it 🙂

What I meant is: by the time I changed to burst mode the birds are gone. 🙂
