The guys hanging out in the 'hood:
Just going to leave a void here because I got up at 3:00 AM to drive 2.5 hours to catch the sunrise from Grizzly Peak (a hilltop in the bay area) to get a view of the city with the fog rolling through it. I've attempted this shot maybe 6 or 7 times and not a single time have I been able to get a decent keeper. I just don't have the gear to get what I want from that distance so I'm admitting defeat.
I'm rarely this disappointed but it sucks when I plan it all out for the best odds and nothing turns out.
Here's an example from a wonderful photographer

I'm just conceding this shot, I typically take this sort of thing in stride and in most cases have to revisit several times and shoot again before I get exactly what I want and it's always a good learning experience. This is just one with too many variables based on conditions, time of day, etc. (especially high winds with longer exposures). Without a really HQ long prime lens I don't think I'll get it.That’s a real bummer. But…what I’m hearing, is your standards are really high and you’re picky. And that’s good; especially in photography. You’ve got a vision and you’ll get there. And when you do you’ll be super jazzed and appreciate the effort it took to make an amazing once-a-year (or maybe even in a lifetime) photo. Don’t give up!
Wow, great action shot here and not easy to capture, well done on the depth of focus and stopping the motion.That's Ahmad and this is what he does during his lunch break running down Market Street in San Francisco. I've watched him jump over trash cans, newspaper racks, and barriers. I wouldn't be shocked if he could jump over a Mini Cooper.

No biggie though, I don't mean to be whiny about it I just got frustrated today is all lol.
Depends on the message board. Some have standards.Gonna share this for the sheer reason that I spent all that time driving there and setting up, not a keeper by my standards but good enough to share on a message board.
