Share your almost pictures

Do you have images you know you shouldn't have taken for various technical reasons but you wanted the image?

This coot was too far away so would need heavy cropping @ ISO 5000, i just wanted the picture of him with the oversized nesting material

Had to be this - Patrick Stewart's hand is in focus but not his face; it should have been the other way around! All the other shots I have he isn't smiling 😮

I could share dozens from last Friday - covered 3 bands in Oxford. First 2 bands: reasonable lighting, didn't have to go above ISO6400.

Third band came on - lights went red, went down and stayed down for the first 15 minutes. Luckily there wasn't a 3-song rule!

Saturday in Bedford I was chatting to the lighting/sound man before the bands came on as I thought the stage was a little dark (thinking, not again...) Ended up at ISO8000 for most of the night, apart from the headline act decided to go walkabout in the crowd - twice. The first time was a washout - although I did get a shot of his back, but the second time I ran to the back of the room, stopped to let someone take a picture on his mobile and then the crowd all turned their mobile torches on so that I could get this shot. Not perfect, but Jack (the performer) loves it. Shot at ISO12800, 1/80 f2.8 on a 24-70

I like how the train goes along with the fence

Saw this flying over the lake, i knew it would be small but thought i would test the camera's focus and lock on.
