Yes, life could get very depressing if you went out looking for one particular thing over and over again but ignored all the other things that are there ....
Some of my most exciting pictures (I'm told
) have been of subjects when I had no idea what I was photographing - just something I'd noticed, not understood but thought, 'Might as well take a pic or two ...'. I've even had some great pictures of things that I hadn't even noticed - focussing on a flower part without seeing the beetle ....
We get there ... eventually ....
PS: I originally intended to say we should bear in mind those people who went out trying to film snow leopards, year after year in appalling conditions for the Attenborough programme. What patience, stamina and, eventually, luck ....

Months I have been after a decent photo of them. It's funny how often that happens, you go specifically to see something and its a no show or the photo's are a real dissapointment but its something else unexpected that makes the day!
